Sage of Humanity-Chapter 672 - 670: A Thousand Miles Away

But the array left by the mysterious organization in the Cloud River battlefield could cross thousands of miles.

This undoubtedly showed one thing: the person who set up this array had much deeper knowledge of the Array Path than he did.

After some contemplation, Lu Ye realized something.

Naturally, a common cultivator in the Cloud River realm wouldn't have such ability, but if the organization could allow a cultivator above the Cloud River realm, such as the mysterious woman, to enter the Cloud River battlefield, then it makes sense they could allow others to enter as well.

For instance, array cultivators at the True Lake Realm or even the Divine Sea Realm.

If such powerful array cultivators were to set up the array, it would not be surprising for it to span thousands of miles.

The organization had left these hidden places in the Cloud River battlefield most likely for emergency use. Although Lu Ye had only come into contact with two of these places, it was clear there couldn't just be two such hidden strongholds.

From this, it seemed that the scale of this mysterious organization might be even larger than he previously thought.

Lu Ye couldn't be bothered to care about the ultimate purpose of this mysterious organization, but their teleportation array had piqued his interest.

Moreover, with this development, he no longer had to worry about his own situation.

The Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators could probably guess that he had escaped using a teleportation array, but according to their knowledge, the arrays he set up could only have a range of three to four hundred miles, so they would likely search within that range from the point where he disappeared.

Who would have thought that he was actually over a thousand miles away?

This was undoubtedly good news for Lu Ye.

A moment later, Lu Ye returned to the place where he had first appeared and found the teleportation array. He infused it with spirit force and began to investigate it closely.

Regardless of who created the array, since it was left for the use of cultivators within the same organization in case of emergencies, there wouldn't be too many restrictions when activating it.

Simply put, any person infusing spirit force could activate the array.

This made it convenient for Lu Ye to explore the intricacies of the array setup.

After some research, Lu Ye soon noticed some subtle differences between this array and the teleportation arrays he had set up, including the core Void Spirit Runes, which were somewhat different from what he had learned from books.

It wasn't just the Void Spirit Runes; he had learned many spirit runes from books, such as Sharpness and Protection, all of which were found in Madam Yun's collection.

However, they all differed somewhat from the spirit runes on the Talent Tree.

The thing about spirit runes is that they're not unchangeable; the minute variations of the Yin-Yang Dual Origins can often affect the overall effect of a single spirit rune.

Therefore, the same type of spirit rune often has several construction methods, which can lead to different levels of power.

But Lu Ye had done research before and found that regardless of how the construction of the spirit runes recorded in books looks, the power exerted by the spirit runes on the Talent Tree was always the greatest, and they were the most convenient to construct.

The spirit runes on the Talent Tree seemed to condense the essence of every type of spirit rune, using the most reasonable method of construction to exert the strongest power.

Moreover, when deploying these runes, Lu Ye did not have to expend much effort; with a thought, the spirit runes would automatically form, having reached a level where they could be executed as desired.

The Void Spirit Runes on the teleportation array before him brought no small amount of insight to Lu Ye, with an even greater benefit being the technique of array setup.

The creator of this array had far superior knowledge of Arrays than Lu Ye did, and chances to directly study an array cultivator's formation were rare; one could always learn a lot from them.

While Lu Ye was engrossed and unable to extricate himself from studying the teleportation array, the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators outside had turned the ground upside down with their search. They had scoured an area of several hundred miles and still could not find a trace of Lu Ye, leaving the group of cultivators both angry and helpless.

Many had dispersed, but there were still many who hadn't given up and were still searching for Lu Ye.

At the same time, a great deal of information was spreading outward. It could be said that in the current Cloud River battlefield, wherever Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators were present, someone would be paying attention for any trace of Lu Ye.

In principle, as long as Lu Ye dared to show up, wearing a mask would be useless.

Yet, under such circumstances, there was still no news of Lu Ye; it was as if he had already left the Cloud River battlefield.

Time flew, and three days later.

In the hidden cave, Lu Ye took a long breath, a contemplative look flashing in his eyes.

Three days were enough for him to fully recover. He had even replenished the spirit force in his spirit energy-storing ring, and during this period, he had been studying the teleportation array here.

He had made considerable gains.

Not to mention anything else, if he were to set up a teleportation array now, the distance it could cover would likely increase by about 30 miles.

Those 30 miles might not seem much for Cloud River Realm cultivators—able to traverse it in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea at full speed—but the fact that the teleportation array had such a breakthrough undeniably signified an improvement in Lu Ye's proficiency with this formation.

Moreover, he was currently only at Cloud River Level 5. As his cultivation improved and if this trip to the Hundred Arrays Pagoda yielded results, his prowess in the Array Path would increase by leaps and bounds. Eventually, the span of the teleportation arrays he set up would grow greater and greater.

The only drawback was the experience.

The sensation of using a teleportation array was different from using Heaven's Augury Pillar.

The latter was quiet and subtle; cultivators often couldn't react in time before the teleportation was completed, being stable and comfortable.

But the teleportation array wasn't as pleasant an experience.

When Lu Ye first set up a teleportation array, every teleportation brought a sensation of stepping into thin air, endlessly falling into an abyss—the sensation of weightlessness. After completing the teleportation, he would inevitably feel dizzy and disoriented.

He had thought it was due to his poor skill, but after experiencing other people's teleportation arrays, he found out that it wasn't a matter of skill; the teleportation arrays were just like that.

The further the teleportation distance, the worse the experience seemed to be.

This realization restored some of Lu Ye's confidence.

With his spirit force fully recovered and his research on the teleportation array more or less complete, it was time to resume his journey.

Rousing Amber, who was napping beside him, Lu Ye followed the passage and walked outside.

During the three days he had stayed here, Yiyi had already found an exit. The exit was not particularly concealed.

Soon, he arrived in front of a rock wall that was blocking the way forward.

But this was only on the surface—the rock wall was merely a man-made barrier. Lu Ye threw a punch with his hand, and the rock wall immediately shattered, dazzling light shining in, causing him to squint.

Once he gradually adjusted to the brightness outside, Lu Ye summoned his spirit ark, stepped aboard, and took to the air through weapon control.

He did not put Amber back into the spirit beast sack.

It had always disliked staying in the spirit beast sack. According to Yiyi, it was pitch-dark inside with not even a sound, like a completely closed-off tiny space.

So Lu Ye usually did not put Amber into the spirit beast sack, only doing so when it was necessary to hide their tracks.

Now that his appearance had been memorized by many Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, even wearing a mask would not be very effective. He simply stopped bothering with such futile disguises.

The distance to the Hundred Arrays Pagoda was not short, but as long as he was careful enough, there shouldn't be any problems.

Traveling along the way, Lu Ye tried to stay hidden during the day and move at night. The height at which he flew with weapon control was maintained at about 30 to 40 yards above the ground.

This distance made it convenient for him to land and hide at any time, avoiding the possibility of being discovered.

Of course, this height also had its disadvantages. If someone was lying in ambush on the ground, it would be difficult to avoid an attack.

There are trade-offs in everything, and Lu Ye could choose to fly at a height of two to three hundred yards, but then it would not be convenient to hide if he encountered someone.

Days passed by uneventfully, and the journey was relatively smooth without any major incidents.

Under Lu Ye's intention to avoid other cultivators, let alone those from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, he hadn't seen a single one from the Haotian Alliance either.

A message suddenly came from his battlefield marking, and Lu Ye checked to find that it was from his fourth senior brother.

Ever since Lu Ye left Great Reversal Valley, Li Baxian often sent messages to check on him, and Lu Ye would occasionally send back word that he was safe.

Though the two brothers were not in the same place, their affection for each other didn't diminish.

After a brief exchange, things at Great Reversal Valley were just as they had always been. Although some Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators would occasionally appear nearby, they never dared to provoke trouble.

Firstly, there was a wolf pack guarding Great Reversal Valley, and there were many formations left by Lu Ye. A small number of people from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge would be of no use, and if there were to be a large-scale attack, there was a Heaven's Augury Pillar in the spirit ground, which would allow Li Baxian and the others to escape back to the Nine Provinces at any time.

Secondly, when Lu Ye left Great Reversal Valley, he threw down a warning—anyone who dared breach his spirit ground would be met with his immediate retaliation by entering the Spirit Stream battlefield and destroying their sect's base.

Even though Ten Thousand Demons Ridge might be resentful, as long as Lu Ye was still alive, they wouldn't dare rashly attack the Great Reversal spirit ground; otherwise, it would only bring disaster upon their own sect.

Lu Ye the Sect Destroyer's reputation for destroying sect bases in the Spirit Stream battlefield was well-established, and no one would dare to take him lightly.
