The specter felt that her recent period of time had been unbelievably unlucky!

She casually killed a guy, only to find out that there was a Moon Jade Mid-Stage backing him up. As a result, she was chased until she had nowhere to run, no place to hide. It was only by borrowing Fa Wuzun's intervention that she managed to divert the Moon Jade, giving her a chance to catch her breath.

After the Moon Jade went after Fa Wuzun, she felt a bit uneasy, so she followed from a distance, wanting to quietly see if Fa Wuzun could escape the pursuit.

As it turned out, they all flew using starboats, and not wanting to make any obvious movements, she was soon left behind and out of sight.

Helpless, she found a desolate planet to hide and heal her injuries.

Her injuries hadn't even healed when she heard someone shouting, "You can't escape, just surrender and I won't make things difficult for you. But if I have to capture you, it'll be a bit painful," or something like that.

On hearing this, the specter realized it was the voice of the Moon Jade who'd been chasing her!

She immediately understood that Fa Wuzun had also hidden on this desolate planet, leading the Moon Jade there in pursuit.

At that moment, she even suspected that Fa Wuzun knew she was there and deliberately led the Moon Jade over, but she quickly realized it was just a coincidence.

When she stealthily emerged from her hiding place to investigate, she found that Lu Ye had left a portal.

Curiosity piqued, she had no idea where the portal led, and Fa Wuzun and the Moon Jade were nowhere in sight.

Even though she knew in her heart that such an unknown portal was not something to enter lightly, as a woman, she couldn't suppress her curiosity. After a battle of minds, she miraculously stepped into the portal.

She was quite experienced in such matters, and as soon as she stepped into the portal and steadied herself, she immediately activated her Concealment and Breath-concealing Spectral Runes.

Then she saw a familiar face, none other than the Moon Jade who had been chasing her relentlessly!

The other party, who seemed flustered for some reason, was obviously startled upon seeing her, and quickly followed with a murderous intent, raising a hand to strike her head.

The specter had no time to retreat, let out a cry, opened her mouth beneath her veiled face, and a streak of blood light shot out, hitting the incoming hand.

Whatever method she used, the Moon Jade's attack did not succeed. With a booming crash, the Moon Jade staggered and took a few steps back.

As for the specter, her entire aura became lethargic, and she looked disheveled, clearly having suffered a severe energy loss from the attack.

It made sense, as using a means to repel someone at the Constellation Late Stage, even if the Moon Jade was unprepared, would inevitably come at a high cost. It was undoubtedly her strongest survival technique.

After one strike, the specter felt dazed and instinctively retreated, wanting to leave this place of trouble.

But just as her body moved, her arm was tightly gripped, and in her daze, she saw Fa Wuzun suddenly appear before her, holding her arm.

"You..." the specter opened her mouth, then her expression changed dramatically: "No!"

Lu Ye wasn't going to listen to her. Since she came, she wouldn't leave!

He flicked his wrist, sending the specter flying without caring if she lived or died, then pushed his blade forward, enveloping the Moon Jade ahead with blade light.

The Moon Jade had just regained her stance, only to be shrouded in blade light. Although she quickly resolved it, it was too late to escape through the portal.

Several figures arrived one after another, members of the Merfolk race, and with their arrival, ethereal, melodious songs began to resonate.

"Merfolk!" The Moon Jade was shocked, never expecting there to be Merfolk here, and a group at that!

Lu Ye had already withdrawn, and Bai Lu appeared beside him, concerned, "Li Taibai, are you okay? What happened?"

Lu Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shook his head, saying, "It's nothing. I was pursued, and having no other choice, I fled here. I'll apologize to the Great Elder later, but I've brought trouble upon you."

Bai Lu shook her head, "It's no trouble. As long as you're okay."

Lu Ye glanced at the crumbling portal, "No time. I'll leave first and come back in a few days."

Just as he moved, someone grabbed his ankle. Looking down, he saw the specter, weak as if barely alive, having crawled to his feet. She pouted pitifully, holding his ankle, and looked up at him: "Take me with you!"

Lu Ye and Bai Lu communicated through Mental Consciousness, a resonance in thought that the specter could not hear, but being perceptive, she noticed Lu Ye's intention to leave.

She didn't know where this place was, but a group of Merfolk lived here, seemingly strong, and Fa Wuzun appeared evidently friendly with them. To leave, she had to rely on Fa Wuzun to take her along.

Lu Ye pointed to the specter on the ground and told Bai Lu, "Keep an eye on her. She's a Ghost Cultivator; don't let her recover too quickly."

"Is she an enemy?" Bai Lu asked.

Lu Ye wasn't sure how to classify the specter. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Not quite, but not a friend either."

Lu Ye pulled his big foot out of the specter's grasp, glanced at the battlefield over there, and felt reassured, quickly rushing towards the portal.

A mournful voice from the specter followed him: "FA-ther, take me with you, I'm so scared alone here!"

What use is calling me father now!

Without looking back, Lu Ye plunged into the portal, and as his figure disappeared, the portal vanished too.

In front of the Divine Conch Hall, several Moon Jade Mid-Stage merfolk battled the invading enemies. Under the mystical song's assistance, they easily controlled the situation, showing no mercy as they directly slew the Moon Jade Mid-Stage intruders on the spot.

Don't be fooled by how polite the Great Elder and others are to Lu Ye. In reality, they have no good impressions of the entire human race. The reason their tribe has fallen to this state is because of a powerful human.

On the desolate planet, Lu Ye reappeared but wasn't in a hurry to return to the All Phenomena Ocean. The green sea conch requires a time interval to be used again, needing a few days.

He found a secluded place nearby, set up a Formation, and began healing himself.

A day later, he set out for the All Phenomena Ocean.

This trip was initially meant to make a transaction with the specter, to see if he could inspect the Breath-concealing Spectral Runes on her, or at the very least, have the specter imprint them for some spirit jades.

Who would have thought it would spiral into this kind of trouble?

Although the trouble is solved now, things must start and end properly.

The starboat is also gone. During the chase, there was no time to care for it. Fortunately, Lu Ye is now quite wealthy. Losing a starboat of average quality isn't much, he can always buy a better one later.

He puffed his way back toward the All Phenomena Ocean, and nearing Unparalleled Island, he took the opportunity to dive into the ocean.

Swimming all the way to Unparalleled Island, he arrived at his place where the Small Constellation Palace is set up.

The Small Constellation Palace was still reversing the seawater, transforming it into pure stellar space energy, with bubbles of all sizes constantly rising. Lu Ye considered it, then placed his hand on the Small Constellation Palace, enhancing its efficiency in reversing seawater.

Since he was to observe whether the construction of Spirit Island was proceeding smoothly, increasing efficiency could also save time.

Then, he activated the Small Constellation Palace's power to open the portal to the main Constellation Palace.

The portal opened by the green sea conch doesn't last long; the farther the distance, the shorter the duration. However, Lu Ye didn't know how long the portal from the Small Constellation Palace could last.

He wanted to test it; if this portal could be maintained indefinitely, he would no longer fear being trapped under the All Phenomena Ocean. Just like earlier, he wouldn't have had to rush back. Even if the green sea conch's portal disappeared, he could return to Unparalleled Island via the Constellation Palace.

Maintaining the portal consumes energy, but the seawater of the All Phenomena Ocean is endless. As long as the Small Constellation Palace continues reversing seawater, the energy to maintain the portal would be negligible.

After finishing these tasks, Lu Ye swam out, resurfaced at his entry point, and leisurely returned to Unparalleled Island.

Having been away for a few days, the stellar space energy on the island was undoubtedly denser. It seems the idea of using the Small Constellation Palace to create a Spirit Island could indeed be implemented.

Moreover, this change has undoubtedly caught the attention of some passing cultivators because Lu Ye noticed someone secretly observing from afar.

Thankfully, he had invited Tang Jun over to sit in guard; otherwise, such a revived Spirit Island without a Moon Jade would easily catch unwelcome attention. With Tang Jun present, many unnecessary troubles were invisibly reduced.

The island's facilities were almost completed. For Constellation cultivators, these were not difficult tasks. The Constellation Early Stage members recruited earlier undoubtedly had more anticipation now than when they first arrived here.

When they first arrived, Unparalleled Island was just a barren island. Now, as Unparalleled Island was coming to life, the energy on the island was increasing daily. For them, it was a huge benefit because cultivating on a Spirit Island like this could save them a lot of spirit jades.

Ordinarily, Constellation Early Stage cultivators without backgrounds would struggle to establish themselves on a Spirit Island. No Spirit Island would recruit people like them; even the home galaxy's cultivators can't be accommodated, so why recruit outsiders?

Tang Jun was still conducting the big array formation, but a certain difficulty arose.

So not long after Lu Ye returned to Unparalleled Island, Chu Shen came to him.

Sitting sheepishly before Lu Ye, he hesitated for a moment.

Lu Ye glanced at him, knowing roughly what he had come for, and directly pointed out: "Is it a lack of spirit jades?"

Chu Shen blushed a bit and praised: "Born to me by my parents, but understood by Senior Brother!"

The spirit jades in his hand were originally the five hundred thousand Lu Ye gave him after the auction, but they had long been spent. To set up a big array capable of enveloping the entire Spirit Island with considerable defense, mere hundreds of thousands of spirit jades wouldn't suffice.

Having no other way, Chu Shen came looking for Lu Ye.

Because he knew Leader Fa was indeed wealthy!
