Wind Rises in Kyushu
Wind Rises in Kyushu
No sooner had Lu Ye finished speaking than he felt the world spin, and the surrounding scenery twisted and changed. When he finally regained his senses, he was astonished to find himself standing before a familiar-looking grand hall.
He looked up and saw a high-hanging plaque inscribed with the two characters "Heguang"!
He almost doubted if he had seen it wrong.
Within Kyushu, there was only one Heguang Hall, located in Haotian City in Bing Province. There were no other branches.
He instinctively spread his spiritual sense to investigate and discovered that his location was indeed in front of Heguang Hall in Haotian City, Bing Province.
How… how was this possible? Lu Ye was truly shocked. Moments ago, when he was checking the map, he was still somewhere in Cang Province. How had he arrived in Bing Province in the blink of an eye? The distance between them was certainly more than a hundred thousand miles!
Yang Qing, however, no longer paid him any mind. With his hands clasped behind his back, he sauntered leisurely into the hall.
Lu Ye, feeling a little lightheaded, followed.
The number of cultivators inside Heguang Hall had noticeably increased. They were all Spirit Sea Realm Ninth-Layer cultivators who had rushed over after receiving the news, waiting there with the previously gathered Constellation Realm cultivators for word from Lu Ye.
When Yang Qing walked in, everyone naturally noticed him, and then saw Lu Ye, looking somewhat dazed, following behind Yang Qing.
Despite the large number of people, the hall was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard. Eyes filled with inquiry gazed at Lu Ye, who nodded slightly.
Through their exchanged glances, everyone understood the true identity of this young man in green, who seemed almost impossibly young.
No one knew why a Dragon Race member would maintain a human form, but since all demon beasts had methods of transformation, it made sense that the Azure Dragon, as the head of the Four Sacred Beasts, could as well.
Some bolder individuals activated their spiritual sense, hoping to probe Yang Qing's true nature, but they quickly looked awestruck.
This was because, under the spiritual sense probe, Yang Qing's location appeared as a void. If not for seeing him with their own eyes, they might not have detected his presence at all.
This alone made those who probed realize that this legendary Dragon Race member was at least on par with Yue Xin—an existence that was currently irresistible in Kyushu!
Under everyone's gaze, Yang Qing, as if no one else were present, walked directly to the main seat, plopped down, rested his legs on the table, crossing his left leg over his right, and clasped his hands over his stomach. He looked as comfortable as if he were in his own home. Then he spoke, "Bring me some food!"
No one had expected such a powerful figure's first words upon arriving to be this, and they were all at a loss for a moment.
Jian Guhong and the others repeatedly shot glances at Lu Ye.
At this stage, only Lu Ye had interacted with Yang Qing, so if there were any requests to fulfill, it would be most appropriate for Lu Ye to handle them. Others found it difficult to intervene freely.
Lu Ye understood implicitly. He stepped forward from the crowd and declared, "Allow me to introduce everyone: this is Senior Yang Qing. Senior Yang has been in Kyushu for tens of thousands of years. Though he rarely ventures out, he is one of us."
Yang Qing gave Lu Ye a meaningful look. He found that humans, in any era, were always the most cunning race. What did "been here for tens of thousands of years" mean? He had clearly been suppressed for tens of thousands of years. But said by Lu Ye, it did sound more pleasant.
And just like that, he became "one of them"!
Everyone bowed respectfully. Disrespect was not an option. Not only were they currently seeking his help, but even if they weren't, his strength and age were undeniable. The oldest person present, Granny Jiu, was only two thousand years old—a mere fraction of his age.
Lu Ye then looked at Yang Qing: "Senior, what would you like to eat? Kyushu is vast and rich in resources, and Haotian City has the best chefs. If there's anything you wish to eat, I'll have someone prepare it now."
He felt a little nervous, fearing the other party might ask to eat people, which would be impossible to deal with.
Yang Qing said unhurriedly, "Do you have any Spirit Jade or Spirit Crystals? Bring some."
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They had thought he genuinely wanted food, but it turned out he wanted Spirit Jade and Spirit Crystals.
During this period, the Constellation Realm cultivators who had ventured into the starry sky had all gained some rewards. Because Kyushu had been closed off for many years and the nearby starry sky remained unexplored, there was naturally a considerable accumulation of Spirit Jade. Spirit Crystals were also found—these were more advanced than Spirit Jade and typically only formed in areas with dense stellar energy.
Understanding this as him taking their money to solve their problems, everyone readily stepped forward and took out their gains from the starry sky during this period.
None of them had much; the most anyone had was around a hundred pieces of Spirit Jade, and some had only a few.
However, when gathered, there were over a thousand pieces. After the last Constellation Realm cultivator had taken out their Spirit Jade, Yang Qing suddenly opened his mouth wide and inhaled sharply.
The thousand-plus pieces of Spirit Jade on the table before him were all sucked into his mouth at once, followed by a chewing sound, 'crunch, crunch,' which left the group of Constellation Realm cultivators dumbfounded.
They were well aware of the immense energy contained within Spirit Jade. Frankly, even a single piece of Spirit Jade, in their hands, would suffice for several days of cultivation.
Spirit Crystals could sustain them for longer due to their higher quality.
A thousand pieces of Spirit Jade, some of which were Spirit Crystals—let alone a Constellation Realm cultivator, even a Moon Glimmer Realm cultivator would likely explode under the impact of such massive energy if swallowed whole!
Yet Yang Qing merely chewed a few times and swallowed them whole, showing no sign of discomfort.
This display of power, despite not knowing Yang Qing's exact strength, instilled some confidence in the crowd. Based on his current abilities, he should be able to deal with a Sun Glimmer Realm cultivator... right?
"Anything else?" Yang Qing patted his belly, seeming unsatisfied.
"That's all here," Lu Ye replied. At a time like this, no one would be hoarding. The Spirit Jade and Spirit Crystals collected by the Constellation Realm cultivators recently must have all been taken out.
"Fine, I'll go find some myself!" With that, Yang Qing's figure suddenly flickered and vanished.
Lu Ye was greatly alarmed and quickly shouted, "Senior, leave a way to contact you! What if that villain returns? How can we reach you?"
This Dragon Race member wouldn't just scam a meal and run off, would he? It was possible, but seemed unlikely.
Yang Qing had already vanished, but his voice came from the ethereal distance: "Just play along, preserve yourselves and Kyushu, and I'll deal with him when I return!"
Inside Heguang Hall, there was a profound silence.
After a long while, someone finally spoke: "What do we do now?"
The situation had become incredibly bizarre.
That fellow Yue Xin had demonstrated his overwhelming power in Kyushu, injuring a group of Constellation Realm cultivators before disappearing without a trace. Now, Lu Ye had invited a Dragon Race member out of seclusion, who, after eating a meal of Spirit Jade and Spirit Crystals, also vanished, leaving the cultivators of Kyushu staring blankly at each other.
It was certain that Yue Xin would return, but no one knew what he was currently doing!
What was uncertain, and very awkward, was whether Yang Qing would return.
"Having been suppressed for tens of thousands of years, no matter how strong he is, he must be incredibly weak right now. We should be glad Yue Xin isn't in Kyushu at this moment, otherwise, Senior Yang Qing might not have been able to defeat him," Lu Ye slowly began. "That's why he asked us for Spirit Jade, and that's why he went into the starry sky to recover. Yes, he will return."
This was both to comfort the others and to reassure himself. At the same time, he addressed Little Nine, "That Dragon Race member won't just run off, will he?"
Little Nine's voice resonated in his ear: "Don't worry, the Dragon Race are sacred beasts after all. Unless they don't promise something, if they do, they will certainly keep their word."
"The key is, he never promised me anything from start to finish." "Didn't he tell you to just play along with Yue Xin? Just do that." At this point, Little Nine suddenly sighed: "My days might be hard from now on, Lu Ye, you can't just leave me to die!"
"He'll cause you trouble?" Lu Ye asked.
"That's inevitable! He's always wanted me to release him, and I pretended I couldn't. Now that I've released him, he's definitely going to retaliate. I'm telling you, Lu Ye, the Dragon Race are the most petty. When you interact with him in the future, you must not offend him."
Lu Ye said, "How foolish would I have to be to offend a Dragon Race member? Speaking of which, how is the situation on the Spirit Creek Battlefield?"
"There's been some turbulence, but it should stabilize in a few days. The impact isn't significant."
"That's good."
The Spirit Creek Battlefield served as the training and cultivation ground for the lowest tier of cultivation power in the Kyushu cultivation world. It held immense significance for all of Kyushu. If anything went wrong with the Spirit Creek Battlefield, the cultivation of Spirit Creek Realm cultivators would undoubtedly become very difficult in the future.
Yue Xin had left, and Yang Qing had left, so everyone was left to wait in anxiety.
This feeling of not having control over life and death was undoubtedly very bad. They had thought that with the elevation of the Kyushu world's level and the opening of a path to higher realms for cultivators, their lives would progressively improve. Unexpectedly, they had encountered disaster just as things began. Indeed, the world was full of uncertainties.
All Constellation Realm cultivators gathered in Haotian City. During this time, Spirit Sea Realm cultivators who received the news continuously rushed over, and soon, more and more powerful individuals gathered in Haotian City.
However, the dissemination of information about these current events was restricted to a certain level. Cultivators below the Spirit Sea Realm were largely unaware of them.
Because knowing would be useless to them and would only needlessly disturb their minds.
After communicating with Lu Ye for a while, Little Nine also hid itself, because it didn't know when Yue Xin would return. If Yue Xin discovered the existence of the Heavenly Secret Disk, that would be the true calamity for Kyushu.
Currently, Yue Xin only sought to occupy Kyushu, but if he were to realize the existence of the Heavenly Secret Disk, he would certainly try to refine it. Once he succeeded, Kyushu would be fundamentally enslaved.
Lu Ye was increasing his cultivation speed.
Initially, he wasn't so urgent about cultivation because, due to his unique cultivation method, advancing his cultivation wasn't difficult for him. However, cultivators shouldn't solely pursue realm advancement.
But looking at the current situation, he still needed to first advance to the Constellation Realm. At the very least, he needed the ability to venture into the starry sky before considering anything further.
