Chapter 1952: Sea River Tower

For a period of time after this, Lu Ye remained in that valley, helping the Heavenly Asura clan resolve the bloodline curse poison.

Mi Shi departed and was not seen for a long time. Only A Qiduo continued to assist Lu Ye.

The Heavenly Asura clan members who were brought in varied in age, from old to young, but without exception, all possessed cultivation bases and excellent cultivation aptitude.

Resolving the bloodline curse poison for one Heavenly Asura clan member took about three hours. Lu Ye worked tirelessly, resolving the issue for about three to four people daily.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Ye sat upright in a chair in front of the wooden house, and in the mirror before him, a great battle was reflected.

The two sides in the battle consisted of two Moon Glimmer cultivators and a stunningly designed humanoid war puppet.

Those two Moon Glimmer cultivators were Abulo and Gusheng.

Before Lu Ye arrived at the Asura Arena, they undoubtedly represented the peak of Moon Glimmer combat power. Now, with their combined strength, the intensity of the battle was beyond imagination.

In the mirror's reflection, Abulo had already unleashed the fifth transformation of the Nine Savage Beast Transformations, using his powerful physique to withstand the war puppet's frenzied assault. Gusheng circled around, unleashing a series of exquisite and immensely powerful spells.

The two of them had no other choice. They had been trying to contact Lu Ye during this period but received no response. With the time limit for staying in this scenario approaching, they could only brace themselves and make an attempt.

This battle lasted for about half a day, and the final result was the humanoid war puppet being destroyed, with both Abulo and Gusheng severely wounded!

Judging from the outcome, their original decision to recruit Lu Ye was undoubtedly extremely wise, because if Lu Ye had been there, the combined strength of the three could have defeated the war puppet more easily, instead of ending up in their current state.

Despite being in a terrible state, they only rested for a moment before enduring their severe injuries and entering the area guarded by the war puppet.

A moment later, Gusheng's disappointed voice came from the mirror: "How could this be?"

Although there was a valuable treasure there, it had nothing to do with the Asura Arena.

Lu Ye retracted his gaze, a look of sympathy on his face. If A Qiduo hadn't brought him here this time, he would likely be disappointed as well.

"Oh, right," Lu Ye suddenly remembered something and looked at A Qiduo, asking, "Could you help me look for someone named Ma Bin?"

He suddenly recalled a bounty he had seen in the Bounty Hall. At the time, he wasn't sure if that Ma Bin was the one he knew and had no way to contact them. But now with A Qiduo, perhaps she could help him check.

"Ma Bin?" A Qiduo paused for a moment, then closed her eyes in concentration. A moment later, she opened her eyes and said, "Senior Brother, do you have more specific information? There are thousands of people named Ma Bin in the entire Asura Arena."

"Human, Sun Glimmer cultivation, male," Lu Ye provided several pieces of information.

A Qiduo apologized, "I cannot search for Sun Glimmer cultivators. Although I possess some authority granted by the Asura Arena, I can only check the scenario status of cultivators below the Sun Glimmer realm."

So that's how it is...

"In that case, never mind then," Lu Ye slowly stood up. "Let's go. Let's visit your Haichuan Tower."

Continuously helping the Heavenly Asura clan members resolve the bloodline curse poison for an extended period was also an extremely tedious task. Furthermore, Lu Ye's agreement with Mi Shi only covered 1,500 individuals, so it didn't matter if he occasionally took a break, as the problem here could be resolved in less than two years anyway.

A Qiduo had mentioned Haichuan Tower before, and Lu Ye was quite interested in it. According to A Qiduo, it was something left behind from the Heavenly Asura clan's most prosperous era, similar to the Abyss Whisper Pavilion of the Little People, containing a vast amount of intelligence from across the Starry Sky.

However, due to its immense age, many records had been lost or invalidated.

A Qiduo readily agreed and immediately led the way.

A short while later, inside Haichuan Tower, Lu Ye looked at the ancient jade slips casually placed on wooden shelves and felt that the Heavenly Asura clan was far too careless with their ancestral heritage.

One could barely see any Heavenly Asura clan members here, and many of the wooden shelves were covered in thick dust.

But on second thought, it wasn't surprising. The Heavenly Asura clan, afflicted by the bloodline curse poison, had lived in seclusion in this place for countless millennia. Such a place held little attraction for them, and only a few clan members would visit out of curiosity.

"Actually, Haichuan Tower has undergone several renovations," A Qiduo said with a look of regret. "Each time, the jade slips stored inside were copied. It's just that very few people come here, so gradually it became forgotten."

She herself would occasionally come here to look around and had once considered copying all the information from these jade slips. However, it was too difficult for her to do it alone. Moreover, much of the information in many jade slips was incomplete and no longer worth copying.

Lu Ye nodded, casually picked up a jade slip, and immersed his divine sense within it to examine.

He found that, just as A Qiduo had said, the information recorded in this jade slip was fragmented and extremely incomplete. Judging only from the remaining information, it seemed to record a special secret technique belonging to the Heavenly Asura clan.

However, this secret technique seemed only applicable to the lower four realms, meaning below the Divine Sea realm. Lu Ye casually read for a while then put it down.

He then picked up a second one...

The location for helping the Heavenly Asura clan members resolve the bloodline curse poison shifted from the valley with the wooden house to Haichuan Tower. Lu Ye would spend two to three hours daily exploring Haichuan Tower, which served as a form of relaxation after his strenuous work.

The number of jade slips stored in Haichuan was enormous. Even though Lu Ye's examination speed was extremely fast, it would take him at least ten to twenty years to finish examining them all, as these were treasures left behind by the Heavenly Asura clan during their most prosperous era.

At the time they were created, this place would certainly not have been accessible to just anyone. But by today, with the Heavenly Asura clan themselves no longer valuing it, Lu Ye naturally came and went as he pleased.

From them, he saw many fascinating anecdotes and historical accounts, which greatly broadened his horizons.

Some of the things recorded in the jade slips were very interesting, making him read with great relish.

One day, Lu Ye picked up a jade slip to examine and quickly discovered something different.

"...The door opened, the boundary was broken. This is a catastrophe for the entire Starry Sky."

"The Clan Leader had long anticipated this. Everyone only knows of our clan's might and dominance, enslaving hundreds of star systems, but who could know... My junior brother Linxin and I set off for... The enemy is very strong. We are no match..."

"They have no reason, only spreading the most primal chaos and desire..."

"...We are actually no match. Their power is very strange. I recall what the Clan Leader said before... The monsters from the Abyss are indeed extraordinary. We still need time to adapt."

"...Is this the Dao? I finally comprehended it."

"Linxin is dead. I'm probably next. It's too late. I comprehended it too late. I caused the death of..."

This jade slip, like most others, contained fragmented records, undoubtedly due to being stored for too long. Even though A Qiduo had mentioned that the jade slips in Haichuan Tower had been copied multiple times, they still couldn't withstand the ravages of time.

He didn't know how high the cultivation of the person who left this jade slip was, but judging only from the fragmented records, they were undoubtedly a Sun Glimmer cultivator.

And likely a peak Sun Glimmer cultivator!

Such a Sun Glimmer cultivator, along with their companion, set off for an unknown destination and encountered unknown enemies, resulting in both meeting with misfortune.

What was this "door"? Lu Ye was full of questions. The jade slip's owner recorded that the door had opened, bringing catastrophe to the entire Starry Sky. This door... must be of immense significance.

And what was this "Abyss"... The monsters emerging from it possessed a very strange power!

And the Dao! The jade slip's owner comprehended the Dao, but it was still too late.

Lu Ye was completely bewildered by what he read, yet deeply shaken.

He felt that the complexity of this world far exceeded what he had imagined. With his current peak Moon Glimmer cultivation, he was a notable figure in any part of the Starry Sky, and the Myriad Phenomena Sea was a convergence point for numerous star systems. Yet even so, he had never before encountered such intelligence.

This showed that these were extremely secret matters, and had he not come to the Heavenly Asura clan, he truly would not have encountered them.

Perhaps only when his cultivation was higher in the future would he be able to see more and further.

Putting down the jade slip, Lu Ye casually picked up another one and examined it.

Unexpectedly, upon looking at it, he saw some more interesting, fragmented records.

"...That monster was humanoid, shaped like a woman, immensely vast, comparable to an entire realm. Her strength was unparalleled. Something went wrong with the door; it couldn't stop her, and she broke through."

"Our clan gathered its elite forces and ambushed her in the Hundred Spirits Star System... Over thirty thousand died in battle, and one hundred eighty thousand went missing..."

"We found clues about that monster. She calls herself the Blood Ancestor. Her blood path secret techniques are incredibly sinister. Any living being she touches turns into her bloodline descendant, fiercely loyal to her. Those missing clan members..."

"The war at the door is intense. We can't spare any manpower for now. What should we do?"

"Word came from Fangcun Mountain. They surprisingly still have a Dao Child stationed there. Perhaps we can join forces with them. After all, Fangcun Mountain is a supreme treasure of the Starry Sky. The Blood Ancestor should be interested in this treasure. The Little People are also willing..."

"The Blood Ancestor has targeted Fangcun Mountain... A great battle! As expected of Fangcun Mountain, its power is unparalleled. Its Dao Child, wielding this treasure, can actually contend with the Blood Ancestor equally. This Starry Sky is saved!"

"The Blood Ancestor appears to be dead, her body torn into pieces. Fangcun Mountain is also shattered. The Little People's Dao Child is critically wounded and may not survive. The myriad races of the Starry Sky must remember their sacrifice!"

"I too must depart. I fear I may not return from this journey. As for the door..."

The jade slip's record ended here, leaving Lu Ye wide-eyed with astonishment.

He hadn't expected to find records about Fangcun Mountain and the Blood Ancestor in the Heavenly Asura's Haichuan Tower!

Looking across the current Starry Sky, Lu Ye was confident that no one knew more about the Blood Ancestor and the Blood Race than he did, apart from the Blood Race themselves.

Back when he had sought to acquire Fangcun Mountain's core, he had even encountered a precious blood clone of the Blood Ancestor!

Furthermore, he had devoured and refined so much of the Blood Ancestor's Sacred Blood, the potency of its sacred essence far surpassed that of all Blood Race members.
