Carefully observing, Lu Ye found Piao Ke's name in the 112th position. This result didn't surprise Lu Ye at all. Piao Ke seemed to spend his days idly, doing nothing but drinking, fishing, and watching women. However, after their last collaboration, Lu Ye realized his strength was quite impressive.

So, despite his seemingly carefree demeanor, he wasn't actually neglecting his duties.

The knot in Lu Ye's heart eased a bit; although he didn't make the ranking, seeing his friends on it was a comfort.

Continuing downward, he noticed a ghost cultivator called Mingming near the 200th position.

A ghost cultivator ranking this high in such a fierce competition was evidently not easy. Ghost cultivators excel in ambush and concealment. Lu Ye didn't know the rules of the ranking battle, but whatever the rules are, they are disadvantageous to ghost cultivators.

Because no matter who challenged Mingming, or whom Mingming challenged, they knew their opponent was a ghost cultivator. With this knowledge, it made it much harder for Mingming to succeed.

So even though her ranking was lower than Piao Ke's, her threat level was much higher.

Further down, Lu Ye did not recognize anyone. Although he had been in the All Phenomena Galaxy for quite some time, he hadn't come across many people.

There's no denying that those who have a name on the Cumulated Points Ranking will achieve great things in the future, and their chances of advancing to Moon Jade are much higher than other Constellations.

Generally speaking, the probability of those on the Cumulated Points Ranking advancing to Moon Jade is 90%. This probability is incredibly daunting. Out of so many Constellations across major star systems, how many can advance to Moon Jade? Under normal circumstances, even half of that would be unlikely.

In comparison, a 90% chance is really substantial.

These individuals will have the opportunity to enter the Constellation Palace at any time to advance to Moon Jade. As long as the cultivators are ready for advancement, they can enter the Constellation Palace and, under the wonderful cover, break through to the upper realm.

Perhaps someone has already begun doing this. Lu Ye remembers meeting a guy named Whei Yijian, who seemed to have lingered at the Constellation Late Stage for a long time, intentionally waiting for the Constellation Palace to open, to seize the ranking and aid in his advancement.

In those top domains and star systems, there must be many like Whei Yijian.

Unfortunately, all this has nothing to do with Lu Ye. Nowadays, he spends his days weeding or supplementing his Talent Tree's fuel.

The efficacy of the green sea conch needs no further testing; it is confirmed that it can only be used once every seven days. However, Lu Ye now wants to know how long the mark he left in the Constellation Palace can last.

Since he left this mark last time, he hasn't erased it, and so far, it's still there. However, Lu Ye can feel the mark dissipating, although very slowly.

At this dissipating speed, Lu Ye estimates the mark can last at least a year or two without any issues!

This is quite beneficial because if the mark dissipated too quickly, it would undoubtedly be useless.

Almost a month passed again!

During this month, Bai Lu came to see him once. There wasn't anything special, just to visit. Previously, the Merfolk Race had no place to go other than around their own territory. Now, with an additional Constellation Palace, naturally, they want to visit often. However, the road is not too peaceful, so Bai Lu can't come too frequently.

Bai Lu stayed for two days before being sent back by Lu Ye, who activated the green sea conch's power, leaving somewhat reluctantly.

On this day, while Lu Ye was weeding in the Constellation Palace, he suddenly felt something unusual inside him. Immersing his mind slightly, he quickly rushed back inside the hall.

Sitting cross-legged, he silently operated the Black rank skill.

Under perception, tiny golden lights flickered in his marrow. Each speck of golden light was a refinement of his essence, seemingly radiating new vitality.

Lu Ye even felt a slight itching in his bones.

This process did not last long. When the abnormal feeling dissipated, Lu Ye felt his spirit force's flow speed dramaticlly increase. In the unseen, Lu Ye could perceive a considerable growth in his strength!

Laughing bitterly, he had reached the Constellation Late Stage.

Counting the time, he had been in the All Phenomena Ocean for only a year and a half, and the advancement to Constellation Mid-Stage was precisely when he arrived at the All Phenomena Ocean.

A year and a half to advance from Constellation Mid-Stage to Late Stage would leave people speechless if spread out.

The advancement in the Constellation Realm is a process of grinding and accumulation, the sedimentation of time. No matter how fast the cultivation speed, it cannot be this rapid.

But Lu Ye, while fishing, had cultivated in the water of the All Phenomena Ocean. During these nearly two months, he spent more than half of his time soaked in the ocean water, forced to maintain an extremely high-efficiency cultivation state.

Lu Ye cannot confirm if such cultivation efficiency is unprecedented, but it surely has never been seen before. This must be why he broke through another small realm in just a year and a half.

However... this was not what he wanted!

For cultivators, slow cultivation is indeed not good. But like this, too rapid a cultivation speed is equally problematic because the short interval between advancements leaves no time for him to settle himself.

Luckily, he had previously participated in a Constellation Palace contest, battling with many in the Constellation Realm and even jointly killing a weakened Moon Jade with Piao Ke and Mingming.Were it not for that experience, the recent advancement would definitely have led to an unstable foundation.

As it stands, there's not much of a problem at present, but Lu Ye knows he must deliberately control his cultivation speed and slow down a bit.

Otherwise, ascending to the Moon Jade stage in the future will definitely be a major challenge.

After carefully sensing his state after the ascension and ensuring there were no significant hidden dangers, he finally relaxed.

The cultivation in the Constellation Realm involves refining one's essence, with the early stage focusing on the Essence of Blood and Flesh, the mid-stage on the Essence of Bone Marrow, and now reaching the late stage, it is the Essence of Inner Organs.

For Lu Ye at the moment, regenerating a severed arm is no longer difficult, as the Essence of Blood and Flesh and the Essence of Bone Marrow have been refined to the extreme. He has the ability to regenerate a severed arm, though it surely comes at a considerable cost and time investment. Thus, even at this level, Constellations with such abilities won't easily take such risks.

Once the Essence of Inner Organs is refined to the extreme, it is an internal-to-external sublimation of a cultivator's essence. Vitality will be greatly enhanced to the point where, even with severe injuries, as long as one has a single breath left, recovery is possible.

After checking his fire-type treasure and Talent Tree fuel reserves, Lu Ye sighed.

His rapid ascension to the Constellation Late Stage was entirely built on a pile of spirit jade.

Back then, he spent over ten million spirit jade in Grand Hall 88 to buy fire-type treasures, but now they are nearly depleted. However, according to his estimates, they should be enough to sustain him until he finishes clearing the sea grass in the Constellation Palace.

When he thought of this, Lu Ye was startled. Is this a coincidence?

If he had bought less or none at all back then, he would not be able to delve deeper into the All Phenomena Ocean now and hence wouldn't be able to help the Constellation Palace with the weeding.

Yet, by some coincidence, he ended up buying just enough fire-type treasures?

If it's not a coincidence, surely the will of the Constellation Palace couldn't have secretly influenced his decisions…

Recalling his state when deciding to purchase the fire-type treasures, Lu Ye remembers hesitating because buying from Grand Hall 88 was more expensive than buying from All Phenomena Ocean. At that time, he considered that with so much spirit jade on hand and Grand Hall 88 being rich in resources, it was convenient to purchase, so he didn't dwell on questions of price.

Now looking back, even with plenty of spirit jade at hand, buying like that inevitably cost nearly an extra million spirit jade.

That's no small amount.

If he were to choose again, he would undoubtedly think more carefully and wouldn't easily make that decision.

Was it truly the will of the Constellation Palace that interfered with his judgment and decisions? Lu Ye could no longer determine.

And now, delving into this seems meaningless.

After a brief rest, Lu Ye continued with the weeding.

Generally, after a cultivator's promotion, it's best to spend some time settling one's cultivation and getting familiar with the enhanced strength.

But Lu Ye had no need for this. By delving into the All Phenomena Ocean, he was passively settling his cultivation, and the efficiency of this settling was particularly high!

Under his inner sight, vast, pure energy flowed into his body, promoting the condensation of his essence into tiny golden lights within his inner organs.

Several days later, when Lu Ye cleared the last piece of sea grass off the outer wall of the Constellation Palace, the entire palace shook just like the first time he encountered this situation, but this time the shaking lasted noticeably longer.

It was as if after a long period of neglect, someone was feeling refreshed and comfortable after a thorough bath.

Lu Ye felt a bit uneasy.

Whether clearing the sea grass for the Constellation Palace was indeed the purpose of him being brought here by the palace, he couldn't be sure.

Now that the sea grass had been cleared, if it turned out that all his efforts were futile, that would be disastrous.

The purchased fire-type treasures were thoroughly used up, and the fuel reserves for his Talent Tree were dwindling. He couldn't stay in the seawater much longer.

Lu Ye turned around and returned to the Constellation Palace.

Upon stepping into the Constellation Palace, something immediately caught his attention.

Apart from the pitch-black stone tablet inside the Constellation Palace, there was only the pile of sea grass Lu Ye had accumulated in the corner, but this time there was something additional.

Correction, there were two additional items!

Lu Ye quickly moved forward, channeling spirit force to protect himself as he observed closely.

At a glance, he was greatly surprised.

Because one of the items was actually a tiny palace, roughly the size of a palm, and from its appearance, it was identical to the Constellation Palace.

What is this? Has the Constellation Palace spawned offspring?

Probing with his Mental Consciousness, he found no peculiarities, but Lu Ye realized that his initial guess was probably correct.
