On the dead star, the expressions of the two women were extremely resentful, but having experienced Fa Wuzun's dominance, they dared not voice any disagreements.

They were two companions after all!

Finally, Lu Ye could start implementing his plan. If there was only Little Dumb, the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc wouldn't have much effect. Although it could link Lu Ye's energy with him, allowing them to borrow each other's strength, they couldn't form a formation. At least three people were needed.

Letting Little Dumb act alone was undoubtedly a very wise choice; this quickly led to finding a Little Crooked.

Lu Ye leisurely took out the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc: "I have a treasure, unique and unparalleled, sense its power!"

While saying this, he activated the power of the array disc.

Back then during the multi-party melee, when Lu Ye took out this item, the shock seen on Chu Shen's and Invincible Lucky Star's faces also appeared on Little Dumb's and Little Crooked's faces.

Even though the two women weren't very worldly, they instantly felt the array disc's various wonders and also sensed the formidable foundation hidden within Lu Ye.

Especially Little Crooked, she had just realized Lu Ye's strength, but now it seemed, she had underestimated him.

While they were sensing, Lu Ye elaborated on the array disc's marvelous functions, and the two couldn't stop nodding, eyes shining with a different light.

Fa Wuzun was strong already, and with such an array disc as assistance, the three could join forces. As long as the number of enemies wasn't too many, couldn't they just traverse the large Melee Battle Meet's field at will?

"You take this!" Lu Ye handed the array disc to Little Dumb.

Little Dumb was delighted: "You're giving it to me?"

"You use it!"

"Oh." Little Dumb reacted, then infused spirit force into the array disc, getting familiar with it.

Using the array disc was straightforward, and Little Dumb understood quickly.

Lu Ye then instructed: "Hold it with both hands above your head."

"Okay!" Little Dumb asked no questions and complied, and knowing Lu Ye had never abandoned her from start to finish, she grew inexplicably trusting of him.

Looking at Little Dumb's posture, Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction: "Do this when you encounter enemies, and otherwise, focus on restoring your spirit force!"

Little Crooked watched coldly from the side, unable to bear the sight, only thinking Little Dumb looked… so silly!

Lu Ye turned to her: "I still need to find two more companions, ones at the Constellation Early Stage. Have you encountered suitable candidates?"

Little Crooked, hiding here, clearly knew she wasn't strong enough, and upon being discovered, she could easily become someone else's achievement. Little Dumb also ended up here, suggesting there might be more Constellation Early Stage individuals hiding on this dead star.

"Since arriving here, I've only met you two, no one else." Little Crooked replied, "But I have a question."

"Speak!"

"A strong individual like you should be seeking out other strong ones, a joining of strengths. Why insist on finding Constellation Early Stage companions?"

Lu Ye looked into her bright eyes: "What I love most is helping the weak."

"Oh..." Little Crooked seemed to understand, turning her head away and pouting.

"Let's go!" Lu Ye signaled, taking the lead to fly out, with Little Dumb and Little Crooked closely following like two protectors on either side!

Lu Ye decided to scour the dead star thoroughly, perhaps there could be gains, and if not found here, then on other dead or desolate planets.

The Melee Battle Meet field was vast, even if participants from the early stage were few, he could surely find ones that meet his requirements, and even if not, a squad of five was just an aim, with four or three still capable of unleashing the power of the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc.

As they skimmed through the low air, Mental Consciousness expanded in all directions, leaving no stone unturned.

The dead star didn't hide just Little Crooked; there were other Constellations as well.

The three-member Lu Ye squad, one mid-stage, two early-stage, was a low-end setup and overt in appearance, making them an easy target.

Traversing this route, they encountered several battles, all due to others sensing their presence and coming to stir trouble.

Since others approached with confidence, they naturally had some assurance, at least on the surface, their strength seemed to surpass Lu Ye's squad.

But after engagements, without exception, they met their demise!

After several grand battles, none remained on the dead star.

Little Dumb wasn't surprised, for previously with Lu Ye battling solo, now with a trio, Lu Ye was even more formidable, making the invading enemies seem even weaker.

Little Crooked, however, had her world expanded, initially forced into this squad and reluctantly, but now realizing it was her greatest fortune on this journey!

As they flew off the dead star, Little Dumb couldn't help but ask: "Senior Brother Fa, wasn't there a Constellation Early Stage just now? Why did you still eliminate him?"

Speaking of that Constellation Early Stage cultivator, he was unlucky. Despite hiding well, somehow Fa Wuzun discovered his whereabouts, and the outcome was naturally not too pleasant.

"He's too ugly!" Lu Ye replied casually.

Little Crooked was speechless.

In fact, before he found Little Crooked, Lu Ye's target was solely the Constellation Early Stage, but after finding Little Crooked, he thought of more.

To showcase the power of the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc and make a name for it, visual effect naturally had to be considered.

In this trio, excluding himself, the remaining two were women, each exceptionally beautiful...

If he found two more beautiful women, the visual effect would undoubtedly be outstanding. However, if the addition included a man, it seemed to spoil the beauty.

Thus, Lu Ye decided that the next candidate must be a Constellation Early Stage female, and she must be beautiful! The requirement was not easy to meet, but even if he couldn't find one, it wouldn't matter; Little Dumb and Little Crooked were passably sufficient.

While leading the two towards the next dead star, Lu Ye's peripheral vision suddenly caught a hint of anomaly.

Turning his head and looking afar, he saw several points of purple light blooming in different places in the stellar space. The light was not bright initially but soon became dazzling, filling the vast Void with a lush purple hue, and then slowly receding.

Accompanying it was a strong surge of spirit force.

"A treasure has emerged!" Little Crooked exclaimed excitedly.

In the Melee Battle Meet, it's not just cultivators vying against each other; there are many sudden events. This is driven by the rules of the Constellation Palace.

Like now, the sudden emergence of a treasure would surely draw cultivators from all sides to investigate and compete, intensifying the battles.

There's no rule for treasures appearing in the battlefield of the Melee Battle Meet; all kinds of things can appear. Some treasures can be taken out, while others can only be used within this battlefield and cannot be taken out.

It's hard to say which is more valuable. Treasures that can be taken out obviously have considerable value because they can be sold. Someone once got a treasure that could only be used in the Moon Jade Realm, selling it for tens of thousands of spirit jades, a classic case of sudden wealth.

Treasures that can't be taken out aren't entirely worthless, as they can be used here to battle foes, often possessing great power, with effects bizarre and unpredictable. Cultivators can even leverage these treasures to triumph over stronger adversaries, achieving unexpected victories.

Therefore, in the Melee Battle Meet, you don't just need strength; luck is equally important.

Most treasures on the battlefield are exotic treasures, but there are other types. Exotic treasures usually have a usage limit, ceasing to be usable after exhausting enough uses.

When Lu Ye first learned about these things, he immediately thought of the hunting grounds in the Cloud River battlefield!

The rules of the hunting grounds have much in common with the Melee Battle Meet rules.

This is no coincidence; when the strong cultivators of the Nine Provinces crafted the Heavenly Machine Disk, they invested much effort, and these strong cultivators certainly participated in the Constellation Palace's Melee Battle Meet, hence the Heavenly Machine Disk carries information regarding this.

The Artifact Spirit of the Heavenly Machine Disk, combined with the Heaven-Earth Origin of the Nine Provinces, gave birth to the Artifact Spirit Number Nine, naturally acquainted with the Melee Battle Meet's rules. The hunting grounds it constructed largely mimic the Melee Battle Meet.

It's just that the venue specs are different, and the participating cultivators have different levels of cultivation.

The hunting grounds have a Kills Ranking, whereas the Melee Battle Meet doesn't. Nonetheless, the Melee Battle Meet is a form of confrontation in the Constellation Palace, and the final achievements of the cultivators are reflected on the Cumulated Points Ranking.

The Melee Battle Meet has only been going for two days, and this is the first treasure emergence. It's not yet known what it is.

Such sudden events pique anyone's curiosity; those with strong cultivation can seize the opportunity to increase their achievements, while weaker cultivators can join in the fun to see if they can grab some bargains.

Of course, the most crucial point is that every time a treasure appears, the region where it appears is filled with abundant and pure stellar space energy, essentially the same as the mystic light descending after a battle ends.

For cultivators frequently engaged in battles, it's a great chance to rapidly replenish their depleted energy.

Thus, the battlefield in the Melee Battle Meet sees the most intense battles whenever a treasure appears.

Lu Ye knows the opportunity he's been waiting for has arrived!

So far, just leading Little Dumb and Little Crooked around, the attention attracted is ultimately limited, but with the emergence of a treasure, it's different. Every emergence draws a lot of external attention.

However, this time several treasures appeared, seemingly of the same type, meaning several battlefields would emerge!

Lu Ye didn't specifically choose but targeted the nearest one.

He didn't rush ahead, but stopped, instructing, "Recover quickly; there won't be time to recover once the fight starts!"

The two women knew from his words that the real test was about to begin.

Generally, a trio with such cultivation should avoid involvement, lest they encounter danger, but Fa Wuzun is clearly not one to shy away from excitement, naturally drawn to where the action happens.

They didn't try to persuade him otherwise, since they believed that Fa Wuzun's strength qualified him to participate. So, they took out spirit jades and quietly replenished their energy.
