"There are issues with the Qingli Dao World!" Tang Jun didn't intend to hide anything; this wasn't some shameful secret, and if he wanted Li Taibai to agree to his terms, he indeed couldn't conceal it.

With his explanation, Lu Ye finally understood Tang Jun's intentions.

The Qingli Dao World has been promoted to a large-scale domain for almost two thousand years now. Qin Yuandai, whom he killed, and Tang Jun were among the first batch of people to benefit from this. With the promotion of their domain, they broke through to Constellation and gradually grew to Moon Jade.

But over the years, although the number of Constellations born in the Qingli Dao World is considerable, no one else has ascended to Moon Jade.

This is clearly odd.

Since Tang Jun and Qin Yuandai, only Wu Zhuo has ascended to Moon Jade in the Qingli Dao World, but Wu Zhuo's ascension to Moon Jade was due to his participation in the Divine Sea dispute of the Reincarnation Tree. He survived the dispute, gained the opportunity to ascend to Constellation, making his cultivation path smooth.

For years, Tang Jun had sensed the problem with his domain, but unfortunately, he had no clue about the cause until one day when a powerful figure passed by the Qingli Dao World and, upon his guidance, Tang Jun finally gained insight into the truth.

According to that powerful figure, the Qingli Dao World itself has some problems, so the cultivators in it, after ascending to Constellation, regardless of their talent, cannot break through to Moon Jade. In other words, those who gain the opportunity for ascension within the Qingli Dao World for their breakthrough, their cultivation can only reach the Constellation Late Stage at most.

Such domains are not limited to the Qingli Dao World alone in the stellar space; there are similar domains, though they are few in number.

To solve this problem, the only way is to send one's cultivators to other domains for cultivation breakthrough. In this way, there is a chance for further advancement.

This was also the reason why Tang Jun followed Qin Yuandai's faction to the Unparalleled Continent back then. He thought that if he could take over the Unparalleled Continent, then the cultivators of their domain would have a path forward in the future. Unexpectedly, Qin Yuandai was killed by a red talisman, and he himself got caught in the Insect Path while chasing Lu Ye, wandering to this All Phenomena Galaxy.

Now that Lu Ye has a request for him, and the two are like locusts tied to the same rope, Tang Jun believes that this small demand, Li Taibai shouldn't refuse.

Lu Ye certainly wouldn't refuse, but he had a strange expression: "Are you sure you want to send your cultivators to the Unparalleled Continent for cultivation?"

Tang Jun said, "I don't need many slots; one person each year wouldn't be excessive, right?"

If they were to send people, they would certainly choose those with outstanding talent and hope to ascend to Moon Jade. Such individuals wouldn't be many, so one person a year would definitely satisfy the needs of the Qingli Dao World.

It would only occupy one person's opportunity to ascend to Constellation.

"Not excessive!" Lu Ye nodded. Even if it's one person, ten people, or a hundred people each year, it doesn't matter. The Unparalleled Continent itself isn't a good place; his roots are in the Nine Provinces, but there's no need to tell Tang Jun this.

As for how Tang Jun would explain when he discovered the truth later... that's a matter for the future.

The two discussed satisfactorily, and Tang Jun was pleased: "If we can find a way back, then joining forces with the Jade Conch, we can certainly hold a position in this All Phenomena Ocean."

Relying solely on Qingli Dao World and Nine Provinces, establishing oneself in the All Phenomena Ocean is quite difficult; Qingli Dao World has only two Moon Jade, and Nine Provinces don't have any. So, if they truly want a place to settle in the All Phenomena Ocean, they must borrow the strength of the Jade Conch, as they come from the same star system and must act as a whole.

This is also the way many weaker star systems survive in the All Phenomena Ocean.

"Do you have any leads on a way back?" Lu Ye asked.

Tang Jun shook his head: "I also paid attention and inquired before, but unfortunately, there are no valuable clues. The Insect Path is still chaotic, looking like it can't be stabilized in the short term."

Speaking of this, Tang Jun also sighed with helplessness; the stellar space is too huge, with numerous star systems, and the Jade Conch is remote and unknown. Except for star systems associated with the Jade Conch, no one has heard of it.

And trying to gather information about the Jade Conch in an environment like the All Phenomena Ocean is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

The elderly and the young lost interest in idle chat, and Tang Jun soon left.

Not long after Tang Jun left, Lu Ye felt traces of his restriction at the cave entrance being triggered again. This triggering had no malicious intent, but was a kind of knocking style, evidently someone came to visit.

Slightly frowning, his Mental Consciousness probed out to investigate, finding standing at the entrance a petite figure, a woman he hadn't seen before.

However, anyone appearing on the Unparalleled Island at this time should be someone recruited by Chu Shen, and her cultivation is quite impressive, clearly at the Constellation Late Stage.

Lu Ye had no idea why she was looking for him, thought for a moment, and opened the restriction.

The woman walked in steadily.

Not long after, she reached Lu Ye, and in the somewhat dim environment, her bright eyes glanced around him with a curious look.

"What's the matter?" Lu Ye asked.

The woman shook her head and spoke: "You're the friend of Palace Master Chu, right? I'm Ban Ci, recruited by Palace Master Chu, and I'll be living on the Unparalleled Island from now on."

Her self-affirmed attitude left Lu Ye bewildered, completely unaware of what she intended.

Ban Ci then asked: "How should I address you?"

Lu Ye pondered for a moment and reported his name: "Li Taibai!"

Ban Ci nodded slightly, "I've remembered."

After speaking, she turned with her two small hands behind her back, leisurely strolling away.

This woman... what is she up to?

However, Lu Ye figured she was just curious about who was living in this place and intentionally came to take a look, perfectly natural.

Once Ban Ci left, Lu Ye finally took out the audio talisman.

He had two audio talismans, one belonging to Li Taibai, the other to Fa Wuzun. There weren't many people Fa Wuzun's talisman could contact.

He planned to reach out to the specter.

Leveraging the power of three metamorphoses of the Talent Tree over this period, he had completed deriving the new Concealment Spirit Runes, and on the leaves of the now-blazing Talent Tree, there was this additional spirit rune.

The cost was not small, and the fuel consumption of the Talent Tree was significant, but it was well worth the saved time.

The effect of the new concealment is undoubtedly much stronger than before. Though it might not match the specter's spectral runes, it's not far off.

However, concealment always needs to work in tandem with breath-concealing, merely hiding the form is useless. The stronger the cultivator, the stronger their Mental Consciousness. Even if the form is hidden, if the breath is not concealed, it will still be easily detected.

The specter is undoubtedly very proficient in this area, but unfortunately, Lu Ye couldn't glean the breath-concealing part of the spectral runes from her last time, seemingly not a matter of money.

Lu Ye intended to try again. If it really doesn't work, getting the specter to inscribe the breath-concealing part of the spectral runes for him to see would be fine, not necessarily having to look at her body.

The message sent, there was no response; no idea what this woman was doing.

After a while, the audio talisman suddenly vibrated. Lu Ye checked and found it was indeed the specter responding, but without any detailed information, just a location.

Clearly, it was for him to meet at this location.

Lu Ye took out the star map to verify the location. Ascertained, he rose immediately, constructed spirit runes, clad himself with the new concealment, and silently slipped out of the cave, gliding outwards.

Tang Jun, arranging the big array, seemed to sense something and glanced in the direction Lu Ye left.

On the other side, the woman called Ban Ci also raised her eyelids, imperceptibly taking a look.

Once distanced from Unparalleled Island, only then did Lu Ye summon his starboat and headed to the agreed location.

The position sent by the specter wasn't very close to the All Phenomena Ocean. Even with Lu Ye traveling via starboat, it took two full days. Here lay a huge piece of floating land; apparently, a fragment from the disintegration of some dead star, the entire floating land resembling a large bowl, with a giant depression in the center.

Lu Ye collected his starboat from afar, donned Fa Wuzun's appearance and attire, concealed his form and breath, and glided towards that side.

He wasn't worried about the specter ambushing him here. Despite limited interactions, he knew she wasn't a good person but not vile or shameless to that extent.

Nonetheless, Fa Wuzun's identity was sensitive; caution was still warranted.

Circumnavigating the floating land from afar, he found nothing unusual, nor saw any sign of the specter.

"Where are you?" Lu Ye transmitted.

In no time, he received the specter's response: "Coming!"

After waiting a bit, indeed, a figure approached swiftly from afar, who could it be if not the specter? But upon seeing the scene behind her, Lu Ye couldn't help but twitch his eye!

Because he noticed that the specter was being pursued!

She was being chased by a Moon Jade!

In an instant, Lu Ye grasped the specter's intent. No wonder she chose this spot as the rendezvous; seemingly, when he contacted her two days ago, she was already being hunted. She's something else, being pursued by a Moon Jade, yet dragging it on till now.

Judging by her appearance, she wasn't having a good time, looking rather disheveled.

For a Constellation Late Stage to endure under a Moon Jade's pursuit for so long speaks volumes of her substantial foundation. By summoning him here, it was either to divert the trouble to him or join forces to eliminate this Moon Jade.

Yet, even though Lu Ye had recently advanced to Constellation Late Stage, he knew well he was no match for a Moon Jade since the nature of forces within Constellations and Moon Jades is entirely different.

Back when the three of them joined forces against the Skeletal General, and it was a compromised Moon Jade at that, they went through a lot to bring it down. Now, the one chasing the specter is a Moon Jade Mid-Stage, far superior to the Skeletal General, how could two possibly withstand it?

Lu Ye couldn't even fathom how the specter managed to hold on.

Understanding the situation, Lu Ye immediately summoned his starboat, readying to distance himself from this trouble!
