Especially those Constellations from top domains, they are not stingy about waiting a few more years for a better future and greater benefits.

Of course, there are also many Constellations who cannot advance to Moon Jade and want to use the Constellation Palace's final rewards to break through their own bottlenecks.

But no matter what, both types of people have reached their limits in the Constellation realm, they are the strongest in this realm, especially the former, whose strength is far beyond that of ordinary Constellation Late Stage cultivators.

In a cultivator's life, there are many hurdles, the first being the opening of spiritual orifices. Only when their orifices are opened to a certain number do they qualify to advance to Cloud River, and have the capital to aspire to higher realms; otherwise, they cannot go far just by advancing to Cloud River.

There aren't any significant bottlenecks up to the Cloud River and True Lake realms. When cultivation is sufficient and the stage is reached, the realm naturally advances.

But then comes the major hurdle of True Lake advancement to Divine Sea, due to the birth of the Divine Sea.

Not every True Lake can give birth to a Divine Sea. Those incapable of birthing a Divine Sea and nurturing the psyche spirit body naturally can only remain stagnant.

Afterward, the bottleneck of Divine Sea advancement to Constellation is not difficult; the difficulty lies in competing with others for this opportunity. Each large domain can only birth a limited number of Constellations within a given time, dictated by the strength of the domain's foundation.

Take the Nine Provinces, for instance. The foundation is gradually strengthening, making cultivation increasingly easy for cultivators. In the future, the number of Divine Seas won't be few, but the spots for advancing to Constellation are limited, leading to fierce competition among Divine Seas.

However, advancing from Constellation to Moon Jade is a major hurdle due to the transformation of spirit force, which is related to the foundational cultivation the cultivators have laid previously.

Take Qingli Dao World, where Tang Jun originates, for example. In over three thousand years, they've had many Constellations, but until now, they've only birthed three Moon Jades. One, Qin Yuandai, was even slain by Lu Ye's activation of the red talisman, and now Tang Jun is adrift in the All Phenomena Ocean, leaving only Wu Zhuo in Qingli Dao World.

Qingli Dao World's situation is rather special, but regardless, it is not easy for Constellations to advance to Moon Jade.

Lu Ye didn't know which type Whei Yijian was, but he estimated that the other was likely the type who could advance to Moon Jade but hadn't yet.

Faced with such a strong opponent, relying solely on his magic and spells to win was impossible, so Lu Ye decisively resorted to his true abilities.

In comparison, Whei Yijian's strength surpassed Zhao Tianmu's by more than a notch.

The battle was intense, with Whei Yijian's various mystic techniques and strong offensive moves causing significant trouble for Lu Ye. It wasn't until half an hour later that Whei Yijian voluntarily conceded and left.

The reason being, entangled in close combat by Lu Ye, he was forced to maintain a high-intensity burst, and over time, he found it hard to sustain, especially when he felt that even with enough spirit force, he still wasn't a match for this Fa Wuzun.

Because during the fierce battle, he had gradually fallen into a disadvantage.

Without saying much, he only gave his opponent a deep look, as if trying to remember his appearance.

When Whei Yijian's figure faded, a mass of mystic light descended from the sky.

Activating the Talent Tree to refine, as expected, the benefits were no different from those of fighting other Constellation Late Stage cultivators, equivalent to refining twenty pieces of spirit jade.

Defeating a mid-stage was equivalent to refining ten pieces, while defeating a late stage was twenty, but it required much more time and effort, so it's hard to say which circumstances yield more benefits.

Returning to the hall, Lu Ye casually found a spot to rest slightly.

Meditating to heal, or doing anything else here, there was no need to worry about being ambushed, because once inside this grand hall, everyone was under the protection of the Constellation Palace.

Days passed, and the hall remained lively; some even set up stalls selling healing pills and recuperation pills, with prices naturally higher than usual, but buying them in the All Phenomena Ocean requires a journey, wasting a lot of time.

Hence, if a cultivator needed anything, they would choose to purchase here.

It's said that Hall Number Eighty-Eight was the liveliest because many set up stalls there, even the All Phenomena Merchants Guild had a booth there, and anything needed could be bought over by making arrangements.

That particular hall had seemingly become a dedicated trading hall for cultivators, with people constantly going back and forth to buy and sell.

After a brief rest, Lu Ye continued on his journey.

Though the Constellation Palace was open for quite some time, the opportunity was rare and he naturally had to cherish it.

For the next few days, Lu Ye continued traveling between various Combat Battlefields and the Constellation Palace, reaping great rewards every day, having experienced countless battles without a single defeat.

Most of the cultivators he encountered were Constellation Late Stage, mostly ordinary ones. Only a few, like Whei Yijian, forced Lu Ye to resort to his true abilities to win.

One fight could even be described as a narrow victory!

The opponent in that battle was as strong as Whei Yijian, but this person possessed a spirit treasure with a strange and unpredictable power. In that battle, Lu Ye was almost critically injured.

This experience served as a reminder for him: in terms of sheer strength, he might not lose to any Constellation, but cultivator combat relies not just on one's own power but also on unpredictable external forces. Spirit treasures, especially with their various bizarre powers, can catch one off guard.

After all, anyone who has cultivated to the Constellation Realm can be expected to have a few suitable spirit treasures in hand. Those from top forces, in particular, have extraordinarily powerful spirit treasures.

However, after many battles, Lu Ye noticed one thing: even with the same cultivation, there was a significant difference in strength between cultivators.

Some people, despite having impressive cultivation, lack combat experience, making them easily defeated.

Half a month after the Constellation Palace opened, when Lu Ye returned from another battle, he suddenly discovered that a group of people had gathered around the Cumulated Points Ranking to watch.

Looking up, Lu Ye came to a realization.

The Cumulated Points Ranking had changed.

All along, this thing was just a blank black monument, but everyone knew it would eventually record some names; it was just a matter of time.

Today, it finally revealed itself.

A voice came, "What's the situation with these people? How can their cumulated points be so high? I don't even have a fraction of their points."

Someone said, "These individuals come from extraordinary backgrounds, their cultivation in the Constellation Realm has reached the Transformation Realm, so they don't need to refine mystic light. They only need to engage in combat, naturally saving time."

This reasoning was logical and compelling, leaving no doubt, because the time cultivators spend inside the Constellation Palace can be divided into three categories.

One is naturally the time spent in combat, another is the time spent refining mystic light, and the third is the time for recovery and healing.

In comparison, refining mystic light takes a fair amount of time, easily passing several Shichen.

For someone like Whei Yijian, who can casually advance to Moon Jade in the Constellation, they don't particularly need to refine mystic light. At most, they just casually refine some after a big battle to restore their consumed spirit force, thus saving a lot of time which allows them to engage in more battles and have the opportunity to earn more points.

On that Cumulated Points Ranking, the top ten cumulated points already exceed three hundred, with the highest one nearing the four hundred mark. In other words, in this half-month, however many cumulated points he has, he has won that many battles.

Below the top ten, up to the top twenty, are all around three hundred, with little difference, but beyond the top hundred, there are some fluctuations in cumulated points.

Lu Ye raised his eyes to find his own name on the Cumulated Points Ranking and quickly found Fa Wuzun.

Tied for fifteenth place with two other people!

Within expectations.

He didn't assume having the Talent Tree would guarantee him the first place; as that person just said, many don't need to refine mystic light, even if he refines it faster, it still costs some time, which others save up bit by bit, allowing them to participate in more combats and undoubtedly earn more cumulated points.

He never underestimated others.

This Cumulated Points Ranking not only records the names of cultivators and their cumulated points but also the victory ratios.

For now, the top hundred cultivators' victory ratios are mostly ten percent, with only Whei Yijian and a few other names familiar to Lu Ye at ninety-nine percent, which stands out quite a bit.

Without surprise, their victory ratios were all lowered by Lu Ye.

While observing, the names on the Cumulated Points Ranking flickered and fluctuated constantly; some rose, some fell, and some completely dropped off the list.

At least a million, possibly more, Constellations participated in this grand event, yet only a thousand names were recorded on the Cumulated Points Ranking.

So cultivators outside the top thousand cannot leave their names on the Cumulated Points Ranking.

Currently ranked fifteenth, Lu Ye watched for a moment, and he had already dropped to seventeenth.

He wasn't anxious. It was just the beginning, and the Constellation Palace would remain open for a while longer. The real competition for ranking only came towards the end.

According to the rules of the Constellation Palace, before the final phase arrives, he doesn't even need to maintain a high rank; just keeping his name on the Cumulated Points Ranking will suffice.

So the number of battles fought now doesn't majorly affect the final ranking, although winning each battle yields benefits, naturally, the more battles, the better.

After a brief adjustment, Lu Ye turned and stepped into a nearby portal.

As usual, a telepathic message appeared in his mind.

After a quick check, Lu Ye was slightly taken aback.

After half a month of battling others in duels, he finally encountered something different this time.

When his vision restored, Lu Ye found himself on a desolate planet. The environment wasn't harsh, just lifeless and desolate to the eye.

With no one around, he extended his Mental Consciousness to investigate and found no valuable information.

Suddenly, a lively voice popped into his mind, "Where is everyone? How about we gather at some spot?"
