Chapter 2872: The Shackles Are Loose

The number of treasures in the Star Abyss is actually considerable. After all, so many starry skies have been shattered throughout history and merged into the Star Abyss. Almost every starry sky has its own treasure.

The reason why there are not many of them in the world is that, firstly, the whereabouts of the treasure are hidden, and secondly, it is difficult to capture.

Not to mention that there is basically no possibility of taming a treasure like the Ghost Sedan, which has intelligence. Even if it has no intelligence, not everyone can refine it.

The treasure that the ghost sedan left for Lu Ye was a treasure that had been completely eroded by the aura of the star abyss and had long since lost its intelligence.

Located in an extremely dangerous wonder, no one has ever discovered its trace for countless years.

The ghost sedan had accidentally come across it once, but since they were both treasures, it certainly had no interest in other treasures, so today it simply took it as a reward and left it to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye had already gained something when helping them, and now he could get another treasure, which was really an unexpected surprise.

After a moment, Lu Ye condensed a clone of the talent tree, and Taichu Wutong sent the clone to the outside of the wonder.

Since the intelligence of the treasure has been destroyed, all we have to do is find it and bring it back. The strength of the Talent Tree clone is not much inferior to the original one, so the clone can handle this matter.

The original body continued to stay in the Phoenix Nest to practice, while at the same time using his mind to control the actions of the clone.

Unexpectedly, just as the old tree had left, the Dragon Lord and the Phoenix Lord came together again.

"What happened?" Lu Ye looked at them and asked.

These two came together, obviously something big happened, otherwise Dragon Lord could have contacted him with the help of the Dragon Book. Lu Ye wondered if something happened in the Source Realm?

"Don't be nervous." Long Zun saw the worry in his heart and said quickly, "Phoenix Lord and I may have to retreat for a while."

"Retreat?" Lu Ye was stunned. The strength of these two people had already reached their peak limits. Even if there was room for improvement, it would be difficult to achieve. Why would they want to retreat at this time?

"It's like this..." Long Zun pondered, "In recent times, both the Phoenix Lord and I have felt that our shackles have loosened, and as time goes by, this sign becomes more and more obvious."

Lu Ye was startled when he heard this, and quickly looked at the Phoenix Lord, who nodded slightly and continued, "At first I thought it was an illusion, but now it seems that it is not an illusion. It seems that there is still a possibility for me and Dragon Lord to go further."

These two have reached the peak of He Dao. If they go one step further, they will become saints. As for whether they can be true saints or half saints, that depends on their own accumulated foundation.

"The reason for the source world?" Lu Ye suddenly had an insight.

For so many years, the shackles of the Dragon Lord and the Phoenix Lord have not changed, and there is no reason for them to loosen recently. The major events that have happened recently are nothing more than Fu Guang's achievement of True Sainthood and the signs that the Source Realm is about to merge into the Star Abyss.

Perhaps it was the fusion of the source realm that caused some unknown changes in the Star Abyss.

"We think so too." Long Zun said, "According to what you said before, the Source Realm should be the core of the entire Xingyuan. Its fusion and return will inevitably cause some changes. Only in this way can our shackles be loosened."

The reason why this sign is becoming more and more obvious is undoubtedly the change in the progress of the source world fusion.

"Can you suppress it?" Lu Ye asked in a serious tone.

The Source Realm has not yet been completely integrated and returned, so becoming a saint is not a good choice. Because once you become a saint, whether you are a true saint or a half-saint, you will trigger the power of prohibition and then fall into the Source Realm.

"Can't suppress it!" Long Zun shook his head. This was also the reason why they came to find Lu Ye specifically. After the shackles were loosened, it seemed as if there was an invisible force pushing them to take that step.

"I understand!" Lu Ye nodded. "You two can rest assured and retreat. I will guard Dragon City and Phoenix Nest. But before that... I want to help you two get rid of the corrosive force in your body!"

The Phoenix Lord said: "That's exactly what I meant!"

If they really take that step during this retreat, they will inevitably fall into the Source Realm. They don't want their own intelligence to be completely eroded and become Yuan's puppets.

On the one hand, he came to Lu Ye to tell him the news, and on the other hand, he also wanted Lu Ye's help.

This way, even if they take that step, they can maintain a clear mind and body.

Lu Ye said no more. Under the power of the talent tree, invisible roots spread and penetrated into the bodies of Long Zun Feng. The two strongest men at that time were shocked physically and mentally, with incredible expressions on their faces.

Although he had learned about Lu Ye's methods from Taichu Wutong, he felt it was even more magical after experiencing it personally.

Half a day later, the Dragon Lord and the Phoenix Lord left and prepared for their retreat.

Lu Ye continued to sit cross-legged and practice.

On the other side, in a wonderland tens of thousands of miles away from the Phoenix Nest, the clone of the Talent Tree followed the clues left by the ghost sedan and finally found the treasure there.

This is a sword-like treasure, no more than three feet long. At first glance, it looks plain, even dull.

If the location left by the ghost sedan was not precise enough, Lu Ye might not be able to find it even if he entered this wonder, because the intelligence of this treasure had long been lost, and even the aura of the treasure was not revealed.

This treasure is of little use to Lu Ye, but he can devour the mysterious fruits inside it to nourish other treasures.

Since it has no intelligence, there is certainly no need to tame it. Lu Ye reached out his hand to grab the sword, but it was cold. He lowered his head to check, and then his eyes went dark.

Three breaths later, in the Phoenix Nest, Lu Ye suddenly opened his eyes and frowned.

At that moment just now, he lost contact with his clone. In other words, the clone was killed!

After a brief pause, Lu Ye called out softly, "Old Tree!"

Taichu Wutong immediately appeared: "What's the matter?"

Lu Ye stood up slowly and said, "Please trouble the old tree to take me there again."

"Where are you going?" Taichu Wutong asked.

"Where the clone went."

Taichu Wutong was puzzled: "But what happened over there?"

Lu Ye said: "Something happened, I'll go take care of it."

Upon hearing this, Taichu Wutong warned, "Go early and come back early!"

Branches spread out, a door appeared, and Lu Ye stepped in.

When he appeared again, he was already at the place where his clone had been sent to. He identified the direction and then flashed forward.

"Fellow Daoist Jin Yao, please protect my soul at all times!" Lu Ye transmitted the message.

On the talent tree, Jin Yao was startled and immediately revealed herself, entering the soul sea, holding the soul-calming bell.

Running quickly all the way, following the route that his clone had taken before, Lu Ye successfully arrived at the depths of the wonder. He restrained all his breath and watched from afar.

The precious sword remained in the same place, just as the clone had seen before, dim and without any aura.

Although the naked eye could not detect anything, Lu Ye could clearly perceive that the roots of the talent tree that had split off before remained near the treasure.

The sword gourd is also there.

The clone was nowhere to be seen.

Lu Ye was slightly diffused, carefully checking the surrounding situation.

After a moment, his eyes narrowed and he vaguely sensed a familiar breath.

That is the breath of a true saint!

In other words, not long ago, a true saint appeared here. As for who it was... it should be the Fourth Saint!

When Lu Ye left the Source Realm, he met all eight True Saints and could roughly distinguish their auras.

Thinking back to what happened before his clone was killed, Lu Ye secretly had a headache.

When the clone picked up the precious sword, he suddenly felt a huge spiritual shock. At that glance, he saw the huge and magnificent shadow, the source of the disaster and the beginning of destruction.

Since the clone was not protected by Jin Yao, he immediately lost consciousness after the impact. Lu Ye had no idea what happened afterwards.

But at the moment, it seems that when the clone was unconscious, the Fourth Saint suddenly appeared and killed the clone.

渊！

This precious sword has been completely corroded, its intelligence destroyed, and it could become Yuan's puppet at any time.

When Lu Ye's clone arrived here, Yuan Ying had noticed it. A ray of consciousness descended and killed the clone by surprise.

Sure enough, with Fu Guang’s promotion to True Saint, Yuan’s consciousness has begun to awaken. If it had been before, such a thing would not have happened.

Before Fu Guang was promoted to True Saint, Lu Ye had already been targeted by Yuan, otherwise it would not have been so difficult for him to seek help from external forces. At that time, he was just acting on instinct.

Now that consciousness is beginning to recover, he will definitely be targeted!

Lu Ye was wondering, if he went to get the precious sword at this time, would he be ambushed again like his clone had been?

However, even if the precious sword is not taken, the roots of the talent tree must be recovered.

In a flash, Lu Ye had made up his mind and rushed in that direction. Before he arrived, the power of the talent tree had already been activated. Its invisible roots spread out and pierced into the precious sword, devouring it madly.

At the same time, he reached out and retrieved the roots of the talent tree and the sword gourd.

While he was on guard, the expected attack did not occur. Even until he had completely swallowed up the mystery in the precious sword, Yuan's consciousness did not return.

This surprised Lu Ye a little.

But on second thought, it has only been three months since Fu Guang was promoted to True Saint, and Yuan's consciousness should not have fully recovered. Although its actions at this moment are not entirely instinctive, they should be much better than before.

Furthermore, it would not be so easy for the True Saints to kill their way over from the Source Realm. It would most likely require some cost or great constraints.

Therefore, after the clone was killed, Yuan and those True Saints probably won't take any action for a short period of time.

If you think in this way, the current situation can be explained.

This time, after swallowing the precious sword, Lu Ye did not let it condense the precious fruit, but instead transferred all the nutrients in it to the Soul-Calming Bell.

Yuan's consciousness is too vast and magnificent. Lu Ye suffers losses repeatedly. It is difficult for him to compete with him in a short period of time relying on his own strength. In this case, he can only rely on external forces.

The Soul-Calming Bell is the only treasure he can rely on at the moment, and Jin Yao uses her own soul to replace the treasure's intelligence, so Lu Ye doesn't need to worry about anything at all, and he can unleash the power of this treasure to the maximum extent.

When the power of the Soul-Calming Bell can completely resist Yuan's consciousness, then what happened today will never happen again. (End of this chapter)
