Chapter 2319 - 2317: The Fox Deity Manifests

After a thorough search, he silently clicked his tongue. This time, the amount of Star Abyss coins obtained was more than a hundred.

Each Star Abyss coin represented a Dao Fusion, meaning that at least more than a hundred Dao Fusions perished in this exotic treasure encounter, because not only Su Yan was killing enemies, but Lu Ye and Song Weiwei also killed some, along with those who were mutually fighting and dying.

Calculating this way, the Star Abyss coins in Lu Ye's possession had surpassed the threshold of three hundred.

Part of these were accumulated from his previously solo actions, and another part was gained by teaming up with Song Weiwei, as she did not want any Star Abyss coins, so Lu Ye kept them all.

Three hundred Star Abyss coins seemed plentiful but were not enough to exchange for treasures in the treasure vault, illustrating the high difficulty of acquisition.

With no current battles, Lu Ye let his doppelganger wander outside while his true self stayed beside Su Yan.

Her speed of refining Dao force liquid was undoubtedly much slower than Lu Ye's. Recently, quite a bit of Dao force liquid had been accumulating in the Dao force flask, and Lu Ye estimated it would take her a few days to refine them all.

As for how much Dao force could be replenished, Lu Ye was unsure, but it certainly wasn't as efficient as his refining.

After all, he had a Talent Tree. No matter what he refined, the conversion efficiency could not be compared with other cultivators. The same amount of Dao force liquid would yield him a hundred Dao force, but for Su Yan, it might only be fifty or sixty.

With idle time, Lu Ye cast his gaze upon the nearby domain.

The last time he explored briefly, he rushed through because he knew this domain would soon be devoured by the Chaos Fog, preventing any intervention, so further exploration was useless.

He never thought that Su Yan would actually bring this domain here.

Scanning with his Mental Consciousness, he gained a general understanding of the domain's condition.

One must say, the number of four-eared humanoid beings in this low-level domain was quite large. Most areas were fairly peaceful, although some wars and conflicts had erupted.

It's quite normal.

What surprised Lu Ye was that these four-eared beings actually called themselves the four-eared human race!

Even more surprisingly, these so-called four-eared human race had innate advantages in the cultivation path!

This was quite bizarre.

Lu Ye considered himself well-traveled, having seen many races, each with varying levels of cultivation aptitude. While the four-eared human race experienced similar variations, their overall cultivation aptitude was higher than any race Lu Ye had encountered.

Using the Nine Provinces' standard of evaluating cultivation aptitude, he unexpectedly discovered several geniuses with a Talent Tree of sixty-four leaves in this domain.

He was called Lu Yiye initially because he only had a one-leaf aptitude, with the highest being sixty-four leaves. In comparison, Lu Ye's aptitude was pathetically poor.

The reason these four-eared human race's cultivation talents remained undeveloped was entirely due to the low level of the domain.

If the environment here were like the Nine Provinces, this race would surely produce many cultivation prodigies.

Upon realizing this, Lu Ye's heart couldn't help but stir.

Perhaps he could prepare in advance for a certain matter. Even if it didn't succeed, he wouldn't lose anything, but if it succeeded, the future would be promising!

He focused more intensely, urging his Mental Consciousness to explore the entire domain.

Before long, his gaze settled upon a palace.

This domain had several countries, and here lay the palace of one of them.

At this moment, in the harem, a dignified, stunning woman was devoutly kneeling on a cushion, muttering prayers.

Although her voice was soft, Lu Ye naturally heard her clearly.

She seemed to be requesting something from the fox deity, perhaps wishing for offspring...

In front of her was a statue of a human body with a black fox head.

Lu Ye detected no abnormalities; it was just an ordinary statue, seemingly the belief of the four-eared human race of this country.

Lu Ye noticed this woman because she had exceptional cultivation aptitude, one of the many sixty-four leaf geniuses within the domain.

Such a woman, placed within a sect of cultivation, would undoubtedly be treated as a treasure and cultivated meticulously.

But born here, she seemed to be merely one of the emperor's concubines in this country, spending her days in the harem, embroiled in overt and covert struggles with other concubines. In such conflicts, lacking offspring would clearly be disadvantageous.

Hence, she had come here to request a child!

She had undoubtedly done this many times before.

But each time, she was incredibly devoted.

This time was no exception; as she bowed, suddenly a fierce wind arose within the hall.

The surrounding guards and maids exclaimed in surprise, yet this concubine, after a moment of hesitation, instead of panicking, looked joyfully towards the black fox statue ahead.

Was this divine intervention from the fox deity? She pondered excitedly, swiftly suppressing her agitation and becoming even more devout.

She saw nothing, yet Lu Ye had already appeared before her.

With Dao Fusion's proficiency, an ordinary being wouldn't perceive him if he chose not to be seen.

"If you have a wish, fulfill it. May everything be favorable for you!" Lu Ye murmured softly, raising a finger and pointing at her abdomen.

At the tip of his finger, a drop of Dao Blood, radiant like a gemstone, slowly oozed forth.

As her fingertips touched, the Dao Blood suddenly seeped into the female consort's body and vanished.

She let out a sharp cry, and her originally straight kneeling posture collapsed into a seated position.

The already panicked maid quickly stepped forward to check, only to see the female consort supporting herself with one hand on the ground, the other clutching her lower abdomen, a look of confusion on her face.

Because at this moment, she felt a slight warmth emanating from her lower abdomen.

Her eyes brightened, the fox deity... had truly manifested!

The female consort was quite favored in the harem, because whether in temperament or physique and appearance, she ranked among the top of all the consorts, and the emperor naturally adored her.

So upon learning about the anomaly with the female consort, the emperor personally visited her, spending the night at the consort's residence, engaging in affectionate intimacy.

Lu Ye, after leaving the Dao Blood, did not pay further attention.

Because this arrangement required a long time, and the result was not yet evident.

He had previously attempted to use Dao Blood to subdue Blood Slaves belonging to him, but after several attempts, even Harmonization Practitioners could not withstand the Dao Blood, all dying violently.

At that time, he knew trying to cultivate Blood Slaves in this manner required great luck, and the probability was very low.

Thus, only the second method remained, like what Lu Ye previously did to the female consort.

To integrate the Dao Blood into the body of a woman suitable for pregnancy, nurturing through offspring.

Compared to the first method, the second was much gentler, so even if Lu Ye's chosen female consort was just an ordinary being, there would be no risk of exploding to death.

Whether it would succeed, Lu Ye did not know, but it was worth a try.

Because even if it failed, he could recover the Dao Blood, and it wouldn't have a significant impact on the female consort.

But if successful, he could obtain a Dao Body!

The relationship between the Dao Body and the original self is entirely different from that of doppelgangers, whether it be Talent Tree Avatars or Treasure Blood Avatars, Lu Ye's original self could perfectly share everything, such as vision or controlled information.

But with the original self and the Dao Body, there's no such convenience.

The Dao Body, emerging from Lu Ye, is a completely new entity.

He can cultivate in the future, gradually grow stronger, and due to the unique nature of the Dao Blood, his cultivation aptitude is destined to be stronger than Lu Ye's!

The female consort nurturing the Dao Body already had exceptional cultivation aptitude, combined with the aptitude inherited from Lu Ye's original self, Lu Ye cannot even imagine how terrifying the aptitude could be if the Dao Body truly came to fruition.

Theoretically, if the Dao Body successfully emerges, since it is nurtured by the female consort, they have the mother-child reality.

But with the emperor, there is no relation.

Because even without the emperor, the female consort would have the chance to birth the Dao Body.

Lu Ye had previously considered seeking help from Hua Ci or Su Yuqing for this endeavor.

But upon reconsideration, he chose to desist, since, in a sense, the Dao Body counts as his doppelganger, if Hua Ci or others were to nurture it, wouldn't it mean they need to be called 'mother'?

Hua Ci would laugh to death!

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for your protection."

Su Yan had already refined all the Dao force liquid, and the already depleted Dao force had partially recovered.

"It's nothing," Lu Ye waved his hand.

Looking at the domain beside him, he spoke, "How do you plan to handle this domain? Will you take it with you?"

Since Su Yan had previously managed to drag this domain from afar, taking it along wasn't too big of an issue, except it was very inconvenient because carrying such a large domain always exposed, constantly risking ambush.

But asking her to abandon it was impossible, Su Yan had already invested so much into this domain.

Moreover, Lu Ye's Dao Blood remained with the female consort, while she could be taken into the Small Flower World, for an ordinary being, entering the Small Flower World posed no problem, but unless necessary, he wouldn't do so because the Dao Body required a suitable environment for growth.

"I want to exchange from the treasure vault for the World in the Mirror," Su Yan spoke.

"World in the Mirror?" Lu Ye frowned, he vaguely recalled seeing this in the treasure vault but didn't look carefully.

Upon hearing Su Yan's words, he promptly investigated.

Sure enough, he quickly found the World in the Mirror in the treasure vault.

From the surface, it looked just like a mirror, but in reality, it was a very mysterious artifact, simultaneously a miniature world, except this miniature world was large.

Understanding this World in the Mirror's function, Lu Ye knew of Su Yan's initial plan.

Indeed, if it was this artifact, it could perfectly resolve the current issue.

However, exchanging this treasure required no less than five hundred Star Abyss coins!

In the current stellar space fragment, perhaps besides Su Yan, no one else would be willing to spend so many Star Abyss coins to obtain a World in the Mirror, as it offered no assistance in upcoming battles.

At least, five hundred Star Abyss coins could be exchanged for a thousand Dao Bones, which are left by Harmonization Practitioners upon death!
