Sage of Humanity-Chapter 799 - 797: No Need to Break Iron Shoes

In midair, Lu Ye and Ying Wuji whizzed along at high speed.

Normally, such ostentatious behavior would inevitably cause continuous disturbances, but in reality, as the two traveled along this path, it was calm and peaceful, without even half of a Corpse Race in sight.

The Corpse Race was not stupid; they knew that cultivators who dared to act in such a manner must have something to rely on. Without absolute confidence, they would not dare to come forward and provoke.

Half a day ago, the two said farewell to Zui Shan and others. They left under the regretful and reluctant gazes of the people at the stronghold.

It was not without gains.

Before departing, Zui Shan dismissed the others and spoke privately with Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, providing them with guidance for their journey ahead.

It turned out that when Zui Shan was young, because of his exceptional talent and good looks, he was favored by the Guiding Envoy of the secret realm who wanted to take him into the realm.

But when it came time to enter the secret realm, Zui Shan voluntarily gave it up.

He was unwilling to abandon his companions who had grown up together in the stronghold, nor did he wish to seek refuge alone in the secret realm to enjoy the glory and riches.

Under the incomprehending gazes of others who had been chosen in the same batch, Zui Shan bid farewell to the Guiding Envoy of the secret realm and resolutely set off on his return journey!

To this day, he had become the leader of the stronghold, leading everyone there in their difficult struggle for survival, bearing the weight of responsibility and remaining true to his original aspirations.

Although he had no means to calculate the current location of the secret realm's portal, he remembered clearly where the portal had opened all those years ago.

This was a secret in his heart, for it concerned the secret realm, and he could not and dared not speak of it lightly to others.

Today, recognizing the valor shown by Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, as they were about to leave, he revealed the truth.

However, according to Zui Shan, the secret realm was floating above the Unparalleled Continent, and its location was not fixed, so even if Lu Ye and Ying Wuji hurried to where the portal appeared back then, they might not find anything.

Yet, this was still a clue, and for Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, who were completely clueless, the trip was a must.

What if they found something there?

The landscapes continuously receded as they traveled, and the transition from day to night did not stop their advancement. They occasionally rested, but only briefly to replenish their spirit force before embarking on the journey again.

By the next day, they had arrived at the location pointed out by Zui Shan.

From afar, the three spirit mountaintops in front resembled three fingers standing erect between heaven and earth, the middle one the tallest and the others slightly shorter.

Two streaks of light, one after the other, landed on the central mountaintop, where, according to Zui Shan, the portal to the secret realm had once appeared.

Lu Ye looked around and spread his mental power, but found nothing noteworthy.

"Let's search separately."

Upon saying that, he stepped towards one side to begin his search.

Ying Wuji nodded and went off to explore in another direction.

An hour later, the two regrouped. Lu Ye looked at Ying Wuji, who shook his head and spread his hands, "Didn't find anything."

As expected.

Ying Wuji said, "Lu Yiye, this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Isn't it better to think of a method to draw out the people from the secret realm?"

"Do you have a good strategy?"

Ying Wuji said, "I have some ideas." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Let's hear them."

"Nowadays, resources in this realm are scarce, even for cultivators to survive is hard. If we use some items that do not exist in this world and spread them around, do you think it will catch the secret realm's attention? So that they come looking for us?"

Lu Ye pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "That's a method."

With the agreement, Ying Wuji immediately became more enthusiastic, "What we consider ordinary might be treasured by the people of this world, such as spirit fruits and elixir pills… But doing this will inevitably take a long time and there are too many uncertain factors."

"You go ahead and do it."

"Huh?"

"Since you have an idea, then go ahead and do it. I support you."

Ying Wuji's eye twitched incessantly. Just verbal support?

And this matter wasn't just for himself alone. Was Lu Yiye treating him like a laborer?

Thinking that he, after all, was the formidable sixteenth-ranked contender from the Cloud River battlefield, who walked the Cloud River battlefield as almost unbeatable, when had he ever been looked down upon like this?

Angered, he blurted out, "Lu Yiye, do not push people too far. I have been very patient with you these past few days!" Even a clay figure has a limit to his patience, and considering his frustrations of the past days, Ying Wuji felt he could no longer tolerate it.

Lu Ye looked at him puzzled, not understanding why he had suddenly exploded.

"If you don't want to go, then don't." He said offhandedly, since no one was forcing you, why such a big reaction?

Ying Wuji stared at Lu Ye, not sure why, but somehow felt the absurd notion that he was being unreasonable. His anger suddenly had nowhere to vent, nearly causing him internal injury.

At this moment, Lu Ye's expression suddenly changed, and he turned his head to look in a certain direction.

Ying Wuji, who had long known how powerful Lu Ye's mental power was, understood immediately from his reaction that he must have discovered something.

He couldn't afford to hold a grudge, and he hastily looked in the direction of his gaze.

What came into view was a large ship-shaped Spiritual Artifact, straddling the sky, hurtling through the air. Where it passed, clouds billowed and the momentum was magnificent.

Ying Wuji was overjoyed, "This is truly like finding a needle in a haystack without any effort, Lu Yiye, our luck has arrived!"

He had completely forgotten the small displeasure from before.

Looking back at Lu Ye's side, it was unknown when he had actually disappeared!

Ying Wuji was shocked and looked around blankly, "Lu Yiye?"

"Stealth!" Lu Ye's voice suddenly sounded beside his ear, clearly still in his original position, but he had obviously activated some stealth method.

Ying Wuji took a cold breath; this method of concealment… seemed to be much stronger than his own. Lu Ye was a combat cultivator, so how did he know the methods of a stealth cultivator?

Without time to think deeply, Ying Wuji also activated his own method, and his figure quickly vanished from the spot.

Raising his head to look at the Spirit Ship in the sky, Ying Wuji couldn't help but feel a bit emotional and sigh.

He and Lu Ye were originally here searching for the entrance to a secret realm, but found nothing upon arriving. He thought this trip would end in vain, but at the critical moment, this Spirit Ship appeared.

In this day and age, the only ones who dare to be so ostentatious outside were those from the forces of the secret realms.

Zui Shan had mentioned this to the two of them before, the secret realms were searching everywhere for the remnants of the human race, what they were using was a type of Spirit Ship. In his description, the Spirit Ship was vast and luxurious, something those living in human settlements could never imagine.

This Spirit Ship had integrated offense and defense, with a hint of the Nine Provinces' Flying Dragon Ship style. Ordinary members of the Corpse Race dared not provoke it, and even if a powerful Corpse Race appeared, there were strong cultivators on the ship who could kill or expel them.

Now that they had seen this Spirit Ship, as long as they followed it, they would surely find the entrance to the secret realm.

Even if one had the ability to sneak inside, they could take this opportunity to directly enter the secret realm!

The luxurious and vast Spirit Ship described by Zui Shan didn't seem like much in the eyes of Lu Ye and Ying Wuji.

But considering the current situation in the Unparalleled Continent, having such a large Flying Spirit Artifact indicated that the foundations of the secret realm were also not weak.

The Spirit Ship swept over their heads and quickly moved away.

"Follow it!" Lu Ye's voice rang out next to Ying Wuji's ear.

Ying Wuji immediately mobilized his movements, trailing the Spirit Ship from a distance.

As they followed, the Spirit Ship did not stop for a long time. Ying Wuji couldn't hold back any longer and whispered, "Lu Yiye, are you there?"

Lu Ye's actions had him feeling very insecure, and it also discouraged him; he was a proper ghost cultivator, yet his methods of concealment were actually not better than a combat cultivator's!

This was truly a ridiculous thing in the world.

Lu Ye, who had concealed himself, released a hint of his presence, and Ying Wuji's heart was somewhat settled.

By the evening, the Spirit Ship finally showed signs of descending.

A moment later, in a deserted wilderness, the Spirit Ship docked. From the ship, figures with either dense or strong auras appeared, led by a man and a woman, who were much more splendidly dressed compared to the cultivators from human settlements.

An apparent array cultivator came out and began to set up a formation around the Spirit Ship to conceal its tracks.

The leading man and woman stepped off the Spirit Ship, looking around.

Then, the woman holding a jade slip probed briefly before saying, "Brother Yuk Long, according to the information left by the previous Guiding Envoy, there is a settlement about fifty li to the east."

Nowadays, the human race was hidden away in settlements that usually couldn't be found, so the location of the settlements was very important. The Guiding Envoys of the three great secret realms usually had records, which were convenient for the following Envoys to search for people.

However, many times, the settlements were deserted, and some were even slaughtered by the Corpse Race.

Therefore, the information in the jade slip held by the Guiding Envoys was updated every time.

The two of them were taking on the role of Guiding Envoys for the first time. Although they were somewhat reluctant, they still had to do their job well.

"Let's go and take a look," said the man named Zhou Yulong, stepping forward towards the east, with the woman following closely behind.

The Spirit Ship didn't dock directly at the settlement's location, which was a rule passed down from the secret realm because the ship was too conspicuous a target and might be watched by some Corpse Race. If it stopped directly at the settlement, it would expose the location.

After the people from the secret realm left, the settlement would inevitably face the danger of a fierce attack by the Corpse Race.

So each generation of Guiding Envoys adhered to this rule.

The two Guiding Envoys had already left.

Cultivators were guarding near the Spirit Ship, and the array cultivator was still setting up the formation.

Ying Wuji was itching to move, and Lu Ye's voice sounded in his ear, "Sneak in."

"I was thinking the same!" Ying Wuji responded.

Invisible and intangible, two figures moved towards the Spirit Ship.

If the formation here was completely set up, even Lu Ye wouldn't find it easy to infiltrate silently, let alone Ying Wuji. There was a very good chance of alerting the cultivators on the ship.

But at this moment, the formation had not yet been completely set up, which gave Lu Ye and Ying Wuji much more room to maneuver.
