The portal created by sounding the green sea conch has a limited duration, an issue that cannot be changed.

Originally, he intended to use the Constellation Palace as a reserve storage place. However, this plan is now futile, since he cannot make a round trip from the Constellation Palace to the Merfolk Territory in one teleportation, and the portal's destination can only be chosen for one location.

As the sound echoed, a green light emerged from the green sea conch, transforming into a portal. Lu Ye promptly rushed in.

He immediately erased the marks left by the previous use of the green sea conch, then hurried to the place where he had piled up seaweed and star beast corpses, stuffing them all into his storage ring. To store these materials, Lu Ye had previously asked for a bunch of storage rings from the chamber of commerce, which were cheap, and given the large business transaction, they were happy to give them away.

In no time, the piled-up seaweed and star beast corpses in the corner were all collected.

Lu Ye glanced at the portal, realizing there was still some time left, he quickly ran to the main entrance of the Constellation Palace and pushed it open.

During his last return visit, he happened to encounter Bai Lu. Lu Ye was considering that if Bai Lu was still around this time, he would ask her to deliver a message to the Merfolk that he would visit the Merfolk Territory in a few days to deliver some elixir pills to them.

The door opened wide, but there was no sign of Bai Lu.

As expected, Bai Lu already knew he had left here, so it was unlikely for her to linger around for no reason.

There was nothing he could do but wait until the green sea conch could be used again to go directly.

As he was about to turn and leave, he noticed a peculiar-looking star beast passing by in the distance, looking quite plump. Lu Ye hadn't seen this type of star beast before, so he drew his sword gourd, unleashed a Sword Qi, and dispatched the star beast on the spot.

With a swift movement, he plunged into the seawater and collected the star beast's corpse.

As he was about to return to the Constellation Palace, Lu Ye suddenly noticed some unusual activity in the storage space on the back of his hand, prompting him to investigate with surprise.

When he discerned the source of this unusual activity, he was even more astonished.

The Small Constellation Palace inside was actually experiencing slight vibrations…

Lu Ye couldn't make sense of this, as items stored in storage spaces were usually isolated from the outside world and wouldn't easily manifest powers, especially the Small Constellation Palace, which he had examined many times without understanding its purpose.

This time it was unexpectedly vibrating slightly.

As expected of a gift from the Constellation Palace, truly extraordinary!

Lu Ye quickly brought out the Small Constellation Palace, not worrying about it being corroded by the seawater, for the Constellation Palace itself had stood beneath the All Phenomena Ocean for countless years, and this item looked identical to it, so there was no reason for it to be eroded easily.

Sure enough, once he brought it out, the Small Constellation Palace showed no signs of erosion. Furthermore, Lu Ye even sensed it was voraciously devouring the surrounding seawater.

Bubbles of varying sizes appeared out of thin air and swiftly rose, and Lu Ye clearly detected that each bubble contained extremely pure and rich stellar space energy.

For a moment, he was stunned, suddenly gaining some Insight into the powers of the Small Constellation Palace.

But now was not the time to continue experimenting, as the portal from the green sea conch wouldn't last long; he needed to return quickly.

He put away the Small Constellation Palace, approached the portal, and flashed through it. When he reappeared, he found himself on the desolate island he had been at before.

Holding the Small Constellation Palace in his hand and examining it closely, it was now silent, and despite attempting to inject spirit force into it, as before, there was no response.

Yet, from the recent experience, Lu Ye understood that to activate this item, spirit force from a cultivator wouldn't do, nor would spirit jade or spirit crystal; only the seawater from the All Phenomena Ocean would suffice!

No wonder he hadn't found a way to activate it before, as Lu Ye never thought of trying to activate it beneath the All Phenomena Ocean.

If it hadn't been for this unexpected discovery, it might have remained undiscovered for now.

However, he would undoubtedly enter the All Phenomena Ocean for cultivation in the future, and by then he would naturally perceive it.

He left his hiding place, surveyed his surroundings, found a deserted spot, and plunged into the All Phenomena Ocean, not daring to dive too deep, lest he encounter some vicious star beast, stopping at a depth of thirty fathoms below the sea.

The same scene as before unfolded; the Small Constellation Palace was frantically devouring the seawater of the All Phenomena Ocean, and bubbles of varying sizes appeared out of nowhere.

Lu Ye held the Small Constellation Palace in one hand and reached into the bubbles with the other, discovering, as expected, that these bubbles were filled with extremely pure stellar space energy, readily refined.

The Small Constellation Palace could actually transform the All Phenomena Ocean's seawater into stellar space energy that cultivators could refine and absorb!

If that's the case, then this truly is a valuable treasure!

Everyone knows that the seawater of the All Phenomena Ocean is condensed with extremely pure stellar space energy. To any cultivator, this vast ocean is an inexhaustible and unlimited cultivation treasure vault. Yet, from ancient times to now, no cultivator has benefited from it, because pure All Phenomena Ocean water cannot be refined, and it possesses strong corrosive properties, which even a cultivator's body cannot withstand, nor can spirit treasures or magic treasures.

But with the Small Constellation Palace, things are different; it can convert the seawater into energy that cultivators can refine, holding this item means that the All Phenomena Ocean's seawater becomes entirely available for one's use.

Lu Ye suddenly thought of something. In the competition within the Constellation Palace, the victorious cultivators would receive the reward of mystic light from the heavens, and that mystic light contained pure energy of varying quantities, which could be absorbed and refined by the cultivators.

Where did this energy come from? It certainly couldn't appear out of thin air; there must be a source.

Everyone thought it was the Constellation Palace's own reserve, but now it seems that it absolutely isn't.

The pure energy contained within the mystic light was no doubt all sourced from the All Phenomena Ocean, converted by the Constellation Palace from the seawater.

Thus, the Constellation Palace itself possesses such a conversion ability, and the bestowed Small Constellation Palace undoubtedly inherits this capability.

The Small Constellation Palace clearly has more abilities than just this one because during its process of converting seawater, Lu Ye found he could slightly activate it.

After quietly sensing it for a moment, Lu Ye attempted to control it.

Soon, the bubbles emerging from the Small Constellation Palace became much more frequent and larger, which undoubtedly meant its efficiency in converting seawater had improved, allowing more seawater to be converted into stellar space energy in a shorter amount of time.

Similarly, Lu Ye could also control it to reduce the efficiency, with the corresponding external performance being fewer and smaller bubbles.

Moreover.

Under Lu Ye's control, the Small Constellation Palace began to swallow the stellar space energy it had reversed. The amount of energy being swallowed wasn't much, so it didn't impact the birth of bubbles.

Additionally, the Small Constellation Palace was slightly vibrating.

Lu Ye was unsure what consequences continued actions might lead to, but some things need to be tried to find out.

In no time, the door of the Small Constellation Palace suddenly opened, and while Lu Ye focused his gaze, he saw thousands of luxurious lights emitting from the door; as Lu Ye fixed his eyes, the view abruptly changed.

A small object, yet as the door opened it was no bigger than Lu Ye's palm, but when Lu Ye gazed at it, the door rapidly enlarged within his view, causing the whole person to involuntarily charge toward the inside of the door.

Unprepared, Lu Ye plunged right in.

Upon reappearance, he was no longer in the All Phenomena Ocean, and after surveying the surroundings, he was astonished to discover he had returned to the Constellation Palace!

Suddenly realizing, there was a connection between the Small Constellation Palace and the Constellation Palace itself, allowing him to come here directly through the Small Constellation Palace!

Before him lay a portal, which was unlike the one condensed by the green sea conch, as this portal was manifestly more solid and stable, appearing as an open door in the form of a ghostly image.

This resolved the problem he was previously struggling with!

In the future, he can rely on the green sea conch to travel to the Merfolk Race's territory and use the Small Constellation Palace when he wishes to come to the Constellation Palace.

However, it's still unknown whether the usage of the portal in the Small Constellation Palace would have time restrictions similar to the green sea conch, a point that requires further experimentation to ascertain.

Initially intending to linger here a while to see if the portal would disappear, but upon reconsideration, Lu Ye realized that without his support, the Small Constellation Palace would undoubtedly fall deep into the All Phenomena Ocean, and going too deep would be unsafe upon departure.

So, Lu Ye quickly returned, utilizing that door-like portal, and again felt the sensation of seawater enveloping him, having returned to the All Phenomena Ocean.

Next to him, the Small Constellation Palace was indeed slowly sinking, and Lu Ye swiftly caught it.

The portal was still open, and Lu Ye attempted to close it, which was easily accomplished.

Not rushing to exit, Lu Ye tried to activate the Small Constellation Palace's capability again, letting it devour the energy from the reversed seawater, like before, thousands of luxurious lights bloomed and transformed again into the portal leading to the Constellation Palace itself.

After several attempts, Lu Ye confirmed one thing.

The portal of the Small Constellation Palace can be opened at any time without any time restrictions, which in this regard is far superior to the green sea conch.

But the green sea conch has its own advantages; it can leave a mark at a location in advance and open portals to the marked spot.

However, the Small Constellation Palace cannot do this and can only enter the Constellation Palace itself.

Comparing them, both types of teleportation have their merits, but the power of the Small Constellation Palace reversing seawater is something the green sea conch absolutely lacks.

In this world, apart from the Constellation Palace itself, there is probably no other treasure capable of such power.

Having such a treasure means that Lu Ye need not worry about future cultivation, as the seawater of the All Phenomena Ocean is vast, far beyond his single usage capacity.

However, using the Small Constellation Palace's power also has a downside that's hard to ignore, particularly the lack of suitable place, as the All Phenomena Ocean is busy with people, making discovery easy.

Going underwater is a choice, but if heading beneath the sea, Lu Ye has his Talent Tree; what need is there for the Small Constellation Palace?
