Chapter 2363 - 2361: The First Dao Fusion in the Stellar Space

This rapid cultivation method indeed has drawbacks, as it often leads to an unstable foundation. Once this happens, achieving breakthroughs to Enter the Path becomes an unattainable dream. Especially with the Smelting Furnace Method, the danger is extreme. If the foundation is unstable, not only does it hinder entering the path, but it might also lead to one's demise, completely obliterating oneself.

Yet, the various races in stellar space have accumulated Sun Blaze cultivators over countless years. Although it was difficult to advance previously, the foundation is solid due to this difficulty. Under these circumstances, rapid cultivation doesn't pose much problem.

Take Gu Sheng for example; despite his outstanding talent and being dubbed the brightest rising star in the Yellow Dragon World, under normal cultivation speed, he would at most be in the Sun Blaze Early Stage.

But after his journey through the Nine Provinces and the Soul Race's tribal land, he swiftly grew to the pinnacle of Sun Blaze and then successfully entered the path.

With the aid of an affiliated treasure, even after entering the path, his growth speed hasn't diminished. He has now become a 7th Dao cultivator.

The power within the affiliated treasure can indeed be refined as Dao force!

As the largest world in stellar space, how could the Yellow Dragon World lack affiliated treasures? Without considering resource consumption, using affiliated treasures to help Gu Sheng effectively gain Dao force is not difficult.

Even Arbuluo, who was once as famous as Gu Sheng, has now also promoted to 7th Dao, with full support from the entire Ancient Savages World.

This is a troubled era, but it's also an era for the new generation to quickly showcase their brilliance.

Lu Ye generally understood the situation on the Destroyed Illusion side. It's not great, but not terrible either.

"What about the other Star Abyss Gates? How does their situation compare?" Lu Ye asked.

Gu Yunliu sighed.

With his sigh, Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, instinctively feeling something amiss.

"Among the other five Star Abyss Gates, three have similar situations to Destroyed Illusion. Only All Phenomena Ocean and the Tiangang Galaxy are more severe."

"How so?" Lu Ye's expression was solemn.

"The progress of several Star Abyss Gates isn't synchronized. Take All Phenomena Ocean for example; 9th Dao cultivators have already appeared there, and Tiangang is similar."

"9th Dao!" Lu Ye exclaimed.

If 9th Dao cultivators can cross over, doesn't this mean that, apart from Dao Fusion, all Star Abyss living creatures on the other side can come over?

How vast must their numbers be?

If allowed to continue, even Dao Fusion might be able to cross over!

Lu Ye's vision blurred, as if he saw rivers of blood and mountains of corpses at these two locations.

Not to mention that Tiangang is led by Mount Fangcun, but regarding All Phenomena Ocean, it is one of his foundations, and if lost, the damage would be immeasurable.

While Mount Fangcun is a supreme treasure, the Dwarf Race can't fully wield its power, and even Lu Ye, the master of Mount Fangcun, can only manage it simply.

Over at All Phenomena Ocean, Hua Ci controls the Three Treasures Money, but this artifact works well one-on-one, and against a large number of enemies, it's not very effective.

"Don't panic, young man," Tree Elder suddenly spoke, "The situation isn't as bad as you think."

Lu Ye steadied his mind, "How so?"

"Remember that there are two Dao Fusions in our stellar space?" Tree Elder reminded.

Lu Ye blinked and realized. He truly had forgotten, mainly because he hadn't interacted much with those two. He had been wandering outside for years, and upon hearing about the situation in All Phenomena Ocean and Tiangang, he became anxious and didn't recall them.

Azure Bird, Dancing Girl!

These two ancient species are Dao Fusion!

In the past, Lu Ye had specifically negotiated with Azure Bird to smoothly enter Thousand Mounds Cemetery and learned some intelligence about Star Abyss from it.

Azure Bird actually had no significant desires, just waiting for the Star Abyss Gate to open to a level where Dao Fusion could cross, to leave stellar space with Dancing Girl.

Because since the last invasion of stellar space, they missed the opportunity to leave and have remained in stellar space for years. For Dao Fusion, although stellar space is stable, there is no direction to pursue, which is intolerable.

Now, with stellar space facing another invasion, they unquestionably have a chance to leave.

"Even if they are Dao Fusion, they might not be able to withstand so many invading enemies, right?" Lu Ye was skeptical.

Throughout countless years, no one knows how much Dao force Azure Bird and Dancing Girl have left. Their strength back then should not have been high, otherwise they wouldn't have survived such a war.

With such strength, they can handle only a limited number of Enter the Path cultivators.

"Defending against the enemy doesn't necessarily mean killing them! Sometimes, the presence of powerful beings is itself a deterrent," Tree Elder chuckled, "For now, with these two stationed at All Phenomena Ocean and Tiangang Galaxy, the enemies on the other side are still cautious. But over time, the situation could change, especially since the other side likely has Dao Fusion too. If Dao Fusion can come over, the deterrence of these two will be lost."

Lu Ye understood.

From this perspective, the enemies should be blocked at the opposite side of All Phenomena Ocean and Tiangang, unlike the large-scale invasion at Destroyed Illusion.

This evidently stems from a Star Abyss cultivator who escaped from the grasp of Azure Bird and Dancing Girl, and returned to report the situation. With Dao Fusion present in the stellar space, those who entered the path dare not act recklessly; they are now waiting for those with Dao Fusion to take the lead.

Lu Ye fell into contemplation; as of now, the priority should be resolving the troubles of All Phenomena Ocean and Tiangang, otherwise, if Dao Fusion were to invade the stellar space, it would indeed be problematic. While he could certainly kill them, significant losses would inevitably occur on their side before the enemy could be vanquished.

This danger needs to be strangled in its cradle.

While he was silently deliberating, Gu Yunliu suddenly took out an audio talisman to check, and then his brows furrowed.

"What is it?" Tree Elder inquired.

Gu Yunliu replied, "There's news that some variables have emerged on the battlefield. Suddenly, there appeared a large batch of the human race, making a great slaughter everywhere on the battlefield. Their weapons are somewhat strange, seeming to be affiliated treasures, enhancing their strength, and almost every Star Abyss cultivator targeted by them has been killed!"

Upon hearing this, everyone present adopted an alert expression.

The cultivators invading the stellar space come from diverse races, but human race figures are indeed rare; this sudden appearance of a large batch inevitably draws attention.

Over eighty individuals of Enter the Path stage from Destroyed Illusion scattered in groups of two or three across the battlefield naturally witnesses many circumstances.

Especially noteworthy is the formidable strength of these human race warriors, suspected to each wield an affiliated treasure, further intriguing.

"No need to worry, this group is brought by me." Lu Ye spoke.

Regarding the Banlan human race, Lu Ye wouldn't hide, yet hadn't gotten around to mentioning them.

"You brought them?" Gu Yunliu looked at Lu Ye in astonishment, "You've subdued this batch of the human race in the stellar space?"

"Not exactly subdued, let's say cooperation." Lu Ye explained, "They hail from a stellar space called Banlan, which is different from usual stellar spaces; it has been nurtured into Dao soldiers by a powerful entity..."

Lu Ye briefly informed them of Banlan's situation.

The group listened in silent contemplation.

After a long while, Tree Elder slowly spoke: "So you brought back a stellar space from outside, where formidable individuals are as abundant as clouds, with Dao Fusion merely plentiful by the handful?"

"That's correct, yet due to complex internal dynamics in Banlan, it's challenging to extract too many formidable individuals. This time, I got assistance from Banlan's Four Great Families to muster up three thousand Enter the Path warriors; currently only about half could enter, who are now active on the battlefield. Their weapons aren't affiliated treasures but a type of treasure known as Dao artifact, which can enhance the wielder's power by approximately one to five Dao levels, playing a significant role in Enter the Path conflicts."

The group once again fell silent, striving to digest the information from Lu Ye's words.

After ten years away, Lu Ye has returned.

Though Gu Yunliu and Tree Elder rejoiced, they hadn't placed extensive hopes on him; after all, the time had been too short, and no matter how talented Lu Ye might be, how much could he have grown?

Yet now they learned, he actually brought back an entire stellar space!

Indeed, although the internal dynamics of the stellar space are complex, making it hard to extract many formidable figures.

Indeed, those who could enter now are solely Enter the Path.

But three thousand Enter the Path warriors, each holding Dao artifacts that boost power...

Such a force injected into the stellar space makes the many crises, previously deemed significant by them, seem easily resolvable, not of much consequence!

"Truly, the world is vast, full of wonders." After a long while, Gu Yunliu sighed.

He hadn't anticipated that after merely ten years away, Lu Ye truly found a way to resolve the stellar space crisis and returned at such a critical juncture; it was, simply put, a miracle.

"Young man, may this old one ask a presumptuous question; what is your influence within Banlan?" Tree Elder asked.

He considered much more; indeed, Lu Ye bringing news is positive, but if his influence within Banlan were insufficient, it might lead to a situation of inviting wolves to drive away tigers, a concern he couldn't overlook.

Because there are treasures within the stellar space that allure Star Abyss's formidable figures!

Including himself!

"How to put it?" Lu Ye pondered briefly, "By a stroke of fortune, I've refined Banlan, can be regarded as Banlan's master. Previously, they were trapped inside unable to escape, so now whoever wants out must obtain my consent! Moreover, inside Banlan, due to prolonged wars against the Insect and Blood Races, the human race internally remains quite united; our stellar space is predominantly human, naturally resonating with theirs."

Tree Elder responded, "If that's so, very well, but between cultivators, power remains supreme. Observing your aura, you've entered Dao Fusion, yes?"

Upon this statement, Gu Yunliu and others revealed inquiries; he intended to ask Lu Ye about his cultivation earlier but didn't get the chance.

"Tree Elder's vision is keen, I indeed have entered Dao Fusion recently, currently at the 2nd Order Dao Fusion."

Gu Yunliu and others beamed with delight.

Lu Ye entering Dao Fusion signifies the first Dao Fusion adept of the home stellar space has emerged!

Of course, Azure Bird and Dancing Girl aren't counted; they're remnants from the previous stellar space invasion.

The birth of the first Dao Fusion adept, if this news spread, would undeniably bring joy across the entire stellar space.
