The Constellation Palace brought him here to remove weeds, and now that the task is completed, this is probably the reward given by the Constellation Palace.

The Cumulated Points Ranking has rewards; the most basic reward is a chance to upgrade to Moon Jade in the Constellation Palace at any time. The higher the ranking, the longer the stay in the Constellation Palace, and if ranked among the top ten, there are additional special rewards.

Lu Ye missed the ranking battle and didn't earn any ranking, but if the green sea conch's effect continues to work, he could visit the Constellation Palace anytime in the future, and he'll be going to the main palace, unlike other cultivators who only enter a projection.

So, from this perspective, missing the ranking battle didn't cause him much loss.

Now the Constellation Palace has given a special reward again, and it seems like he's made a gain.

It's just unknown what use this small Constellation Palace has.

Quickly stepping forward, Lu Ye picked up the drastically miniaturized Constellation Palace. It was slightly heavy, but upon close inspection, there was nothing extraordinary about it.

Attempting to inject spirit force, it could not be infused, as this small Constellation Palace seemed unable to accept his spirit force, and probing with Mental Consciousness also revealed nothing special.

Lu Ye frowned, pondering what this thing could be used for.

It is certain that since it is a treasure bestowed by the Constellation Palace, it must not be useless—definitely a treasure; unfortunately, he couldn't figure out its purpose immediately.

After some more attempts and still not understanding its use, Lu Ye put it away to explore later when he has time.

Lu Ye turned to look at the second item, placed next to the small Constellation Palace—a very small short sword, only about finger-length, which Lu Ye initially overlooked.

Reaching out to take it, he felt an icy chill to the bone, and only by slightly channeling spirit force to isolate did he feel better.

Is this a spirit treasure or a magic treasure? It doesn't seem to fit the bill.

Lu Ye tried infusing his spirit force into the short sword, and this time, the sword didn't reject it, yet it showed no reaction, nor could he detect any traces of restrictions.

Without restrictions, it's not a spirit treasure or magic treasure; could it be an exotic treasure?

If this is an exotic treasure bestowed by the Constellation Palace, it must be terrifyingly destructive.

But this item seems like a black hole, absorbing all the power Lu Ye channels into it, yet showing no reaction.

Why are both treasures from the Constellation Palace so strange? Lu Ye knew that even if he asked the Constellation Palace, he wouldn't get an answer, as this stellar space supreme treasure, though having its will, never interacts with him.

With a move of his Mental Consciousness, he prepared to inspect the short sword closely.

However, just as his Mental Consciousness entered the short sword, Lu Ye's expression drastically changed, and he instinctively retreated back, while the Boulder Mountain Saber erupted from its sheath and slashed forward.

Because within his vision, a vague figure mysteriously appeared, seemingly holding a saber and casually swinging it at him.

Light spread out like a big sun exploding, a lotus slowly blossomed, and in the immense crisis, Lu Ye executed his strongest saber skills.

As the lotus dissipated, Lu Ye maintained the pose of having swung his saber, gasping heavily, his clothes soaked in sweat, eyes filled with lingering fear.

A slight stinging sensation emerged in his mind, a consequence of his Mental Consciousness being slashed, not severe, capable of recovery after some respite.

In front of him, there was no figure, as if what he saw was just an illusion.

But Lu Ye knew it wasn't an illusion; he truly saw it—the eerie scene was incredibly real. Moreover, the figure's saber skills were far superior to his, and his Sun Blaze was utterly defeated before the opponent.

This wasn't merely a difference in cultivation but a disparity in saber skills level.

In his mind, he constantly recalled that flash of saber light, and Lu Ye gained a slight understanding.

Taking a deep breath, he sheathed his saber and looked at the short sword in his hand, slowly revealing joy.

He hadn't figured out what the small Constellation Palace was for, but he roughly knew what the short sword was.

This item turned out to be an inheritance! Its nature is similar to the Tyrannical Saber Technique inheritance he obtained from the secret realm of Soaring Dragon World, except the Tyrannical Saber Technique's inheritance was a black stone, while this inheritance is a short sword.

And in terms of level, this inheritance is far more powerful than the Tyrannical Saber Technique, given it was bestowed by the Constellation Palace; its level is undoubtedly high.

This certainly is like someone offering a pillow when you're feeling sleepy.

Forced to upgrade to Constellation Late Stage, Lu Ye originally intended to slow down his cultivation progress for a while, planning to seize this time to improve his saber skills.

His current saber skills mainly stem from the Tyrannical Saber Technique inheritance, gaining not only the Tyrannical Saber 3rd Movement but a complete set of the entire system. Even when not executing the Tyrannical Saber 3rd Movement in battles, every slash is actually an extension and expansion of the Tyrannical Saber Technique, his own understanding and insight into it.

Because the Tyrannical Saber Technique's philosophy aligns perfectly with his combat style, he appears incredibly aggressive and domineering, irrationally oppressive; complemented with his profound solid foundation, he often achieves victory over foes despite weakness, fighting above his rank.

But in the end, the Tyrannical Saber Technique is only the inheritance obtained from the secret realm of Soaring Dragon World, seemingly adequate in Constellation Realm clashes, but Lu Ye worries whether upon upgrading to Moon Jade, it will still hold, especially if encountering opponents restraining the Tyrannical Saber Technique, thereby he would be forced to hold back.

He naturally needed to plan ahead. At the pace of his cultivation, it wouldn't take many years for him to ascend to Moon Jade.

But improving his saber skills wasn't an easy feat. The Nine Provinces had just connected with the stellar space. Without a powerful background or a patron, although there were many strong combat cultivators in the All Phenomena Ocean who wielded sabers, Lu Ye had no ties with them, so how could they be willing to teach him?

Lu Ye initially thought about whether he could try to find a way through the All Phenomena Merchants Guild to buy some treasured items of saber skill legacies, willing to pay any huge price.

Unexpectedly, the Constellation Palace directly bestowed upon him this gift.

This showed that the Constellation Palace's will was not inattentive to him. They knew what he currently lacked and gave him precisely what he needed.

Recalling the slash that had just struck him, Lu Ye was invigorated. It was completely different from the concept of the Tyrannical Saber Technique. The hazy figure's slash was extremely elegant, greatly benefiting Lu Ye. He felt that if he could comprehend this legacy, his saber skills would significantly improve.

Just as he was about to try again, Lu Ye suddenly felt a constriction all around him, as if an invisible large hand had grasped him.

Startled for a moment, Lu Ye quickly understood.

His task here was complete, and the Constellation Palace had bestowed their reward; they were going to transport him away!

He slightly bowed, offering his thanks. Though the Constellation Palace caused him to miss the ranking battle, he received all the benefits he deserved, at the mere cost of two months' hard work, which Lu Ye was willing to accept. In comparison, he had gained much more.

In the next moment, Lu Ye felt the world spin, blinding him.

When he regained his senses, he found himself amidst the stellar space.

Looking around, he quickly spotted the vast ocean in the distance, which was the All Phenomena Ocean!

He had returned to the All Phenomena Star System.

Where should he go? Lu Ye pondered briefly. In this vast All Phenomena Star System, he ultimately was just a passerby, with no particular place to go.

After some thought, Lu Ye decided to first test whether he could still activate the power of the green sea conch. If he could, he would be able to return to the Constellation Palace at any time in the future.

Inside the Constellation Palace, there was a sea conch seal he had left, and this attempt was related to whether he could open a unique financial path for himself.

It wasn't good to attempt here; activating the power of the green sea conch would leave a portal at the original location, so he had to find a secluded spot with no one around.

Looking around, he saw a small dead star nearby, and Lu Ye swiftly moved towards it.

He sensed spirit force fluctuations coming from not far away, indicating that cultivators were approaching. Lu Ye turned to look and found that there were indeed quite a few of them, six in total.

However, strangely, the spirit force emanating from these six people was all at the Constellation Early Stage.

Upon a closer look, Lu Ye's expression grew even stranger because he recognized the one leading them.

Chu Shen!

It was quite a coincidence that just after returning from the Constellation Palace, he encountered this guy.

However, while Chu Shen knew Fa Wuzun, he had no connection with Li Taibai. Moreover, this guy was a young lord of Cheling World, supported by a Sun Blaze powerhouse. What they were up to now, Lu Ye did not know.

On closer inspection, Lu Ye's expression became even more peculiar.

He initially thought those following Chu Shen were his subordinates, but now it was clear they weren't, because he recognized all five of them.

Little Dumb, Little Crooked, the sisters Cai Xing and Cai Yue, even the Invincible Lucky Star was there!

This was puzzling; how did these people end up together?

Lu Ye could understand Chu Shen having contact with the Invincible Lucky Star, as the two had worked together once before and might have left audio talisman markings with each other.

But Little Dumb and the others clearly didn't know Chu Shen.

At this moment, five beauties of differing temperaments were following behind Chu Shen, who appeared pleased and full of himself, seemingly having encountered something delightful and was quite joyful.

This joy was even more pronounced upon seeing Lu Ye!

Chu Shen stared at Lu Ye for a while, then shouted, "Well, look at that! I scoured far and wide, only to find you here without any effort!"

Lu Ye was taken aback, not knowing what Chu Shen wanted with him.

Come to think of it, Li Taibai and Chu Shen had no friendship, rather they seemed to have a slight grudge. Once, when Chu Shen ran away from home, it was Li Taibai who caught him and returned him for a bounty of ten thousand spirit jade.

Then Lu Ye heard Chu Shen give a low command: "Form up!"
