Sage of Humanity-Chapter 685 - 683: Ye 6 Young Master
Atop the jade stone platform, Lu Ye could only laugh at his predicament. At this moment, his spirit force was almost entirely depleted, and his originally stable injuries were now aggravated. His chest surged with tumultuous blood Qi, on the verge of erupting.
Those were trivial matters. What made Lu Ye curious was the location this teleportation array connected to... where was it? The disturbance it caused was so vast.
His own teleportation array could cover an area of three to four hundred miles. When he was saved by a mysterious woman at River Pi, the teleportation array's reach was over a thousand miles.
Yet even being transported by that mysterious woman didn't create as much commotion as it did this time.
In other words, this teleportation array might be connected to a place very far away, and it could potentially send him thousands, if not tens of thousands of miles in an instant.
Lu Ye instinctively guarded his mind.
The next instant, an unprecedented sensation of weightlessness overwhelmed him, as if he had stepped into an abyss and was plummeting rapidly towards its unfathomable depths.
Lu Ye felt dizzy and his vision blurred. He only heard Amber let out a miserable scream before he lost consciousness.
To faint during teleportation? Lu Ye sensed trouble, but at this moment he was utterly powerless to stop it.
Hopefully, the other side is safe enough... The thought had barely crossed his mind when Lu Ye blacked out.
...
"Brother Lu Ye! Brother Lu Ye..." A gentle voice calling out close to his ear rose, filled with boundless panic and insecurity, and even a suppressed sob.
Lu Ye's groggy consciousness slowly revived, and he couldn't understand his situation for a moment. Instead, a flood of strange information filled his mind.
Soaring Dragon World, Fengzhou, Tyrannical Saber Villa, Master Ye Liu...
Mixing with his original memories, these unfamiliar pieces of information churned in his mind, inexplicably bringing about a sense of familiarity.
Had he experienced this before?
Upon slight recollection, he suddenly remembered where he had encountered such a thing.
It was during his last entry into the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain.
That time, his mind had also been filled with unfamiliar information, all concerning his identity within the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain.
In secret realms like the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, cultivators would often be assigned identities upon entry. This allowed the cultivators to better assimilate into the secret realm and participate in significant events occurring within.
In the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, Lu Ye's identity was that of the Young Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Accompanied by Xia Qianqian and several other maids, he sought refuge in Two Worlds City, giving him a rather prestigious starting point.
Now he seemed to be experiencing something similar...
He recalled the earlier teleportation and suddenly realized that the teleportation array had not connected to some location on the Cloud River battlefield, but had actually sent him into a secret realm.
No wonder the teleportation was so extravagant; he had thought it would send him thousands, if not tens of thousands of miles away, but it seemed it was not so.
Although his consciousness had revived, Lu Ye's body felt extremely exhausted. The teleportation array had drained the spirit force from his body, triggering his previous injuries, and after such a grandiose transportation, Lu Ye felt engulfed by an indescribable weakness.
Without rushing to open his eyes, he sorted through the information that had appeared in his mind.
This was a place called Soaring Dragon World, rumored to have traces of True Dragon visits. Tyrannical Saber Villa was his affiliated power, and looking across the entire Soaring Dragon World, it could also be considered a local powerhouse.
The master of Tyrannical Saber Villa, Ye Ying, started from scratch. He single-handedly built a large enterprise, and his personal strength was extremely formidable. Among his six sons and one daughter, each was outstanding.
Such a power should have been able to continue for several generations without decline, but just a few days ago, a disaster struck. Tyrannical Saber Villa's backbone, Ye Ying, died suddenly and inexplicably. Shortly thereafter, the villa was breached by a group of people concealing their identities. Disciples were killed or fled; of Ye Ying's seven children, five perished in the encounter, leaving only Lu Ye, Ye Liu, and the youngest, Ye Liuli, who narrowly escaped.
The siblings supported each other and fled into Huayan Mountain, now reaching their limits.
Lu Ye's heart filled with sorrow.
Heaven's Augury, what unfathomable schemes are you concocting?
Last time, he was the Young Sect Master of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and this time he was barely the Young Villa Master of Tyrannical Saber Villa, with both origins quite impressive.
But the key issue was, last time the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was destroyed, this time Tyrannical Saber Villa was breached...
History always bears striking resemblances.
"Brother Lu Ye..." The girl's mournful call sounded by his ear, and then Lu Ye felt a finger placed under his nose, as if she was checking if he was still breathing, to see if he was dead or not.
His current injuries were a result of the old wound being triggered by the teleportation, coupled with the strain caused by the teleportation itself, but in this Soaring Dragon World, it was said to be injuries sustained from fighting with the enemy at Tyrannical Saber Villa, which fit the narrative.
"Liuli..." Lu Ye opened his eyes and called out weakly.
"Brother Lu Ye." Ye Liuli's eyes, originally dim, now shone brightly. In just a few days, from the esteemed daughter of Tyrannical Saber Villa, she had fallen to a stray dog fleeing in panic. For Ye Liuli, who had always lived a life of luxury, this was an upheaval, a world turned upside down. Now, with only Lu Ye as her only kin, if Lu Ye were to die as well, she really wouldn't know what to do.
After all, she was just a fifteen-year-old girl who had never faced the hardships of the world.
She fumbled to pick up a bowl of medicinal solution from the side, scooped it up with a spoon, and brought it to Lu Ye's lips, suppressing the sadness in her heart as she said, "Brother Lu Ye, drink the medicine."
The warm medicinal solution entered Lu Ye's mouth, bitter-tasting. He didn't know if the medicine would be effective, but at the moment he was so exhausted that he couldn't even move a finger and had no choice but to let her do as she wished.
After swallowing a bowl of medicinal solution, Lu Ye grew increasingly tired and said softly, "I'll sleep for a while."
Ye Liuli nodded, "Brother Ye Liu, you rest now, I'll keep watch." The sudden turn of events had clearly matured the young girl quite a bit.
Lu Ye closed his eyes, but he did not sleep; rather, he pondered in silence.
He hadn't expected the teleportation array on the jade platform outside the Hundred Arrays Pagoda in the perilous land to transport him into such a secret realm.
It was almost certain that this secret realm had never appeared before and no one had ever entered it.
After all, the platform's location was difficult to find; who would have thought that such a perilous land would have a secret realm entrance within.
And even if it were found, cultivators from the Cloud River Realm could not enter.
Only by fully repairing the teleportation array on the platform could one be transported here, that damaged teleportation array seemed to act as a test, where only those who passed the test were worthy of entering this place.
Across the entire Cloud River battlefield, aside from Lu Ye, no one else could repair that teleportation array.
Since he had arrived, he needed to adapt to the situation.
In his cultivation journey thus far, Lu Ye had strictly experienced only the secret realms of Xianyuan City and Ten Thousand Beasts Domain; this could be considered the third secret realm he had encountered.
Secret realms were places with many dangers, but they were also accompanied by great opportunities, which cultivators loved to explore.
Though he had entered this place unintentionally, Lu Ye was not eager to leave, thinking perhaps he could gain something from this experience.
Amber was gone...
During teleportation, Amber had been crouching on his shoulder, but now she was nowhere to be found.
It didn't matter much; during the secret realm of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, Amber wasn't with him at the start either, and he could sense his own battlefield marking, so he should be able to make contact with Yiyi.
What warranted deep thought was what he ought to do in this secret realm.
Generally speaking, when the backdrop is a large-scale world secret realm like this, the point at which cultivators entered often coincided with major events in the secret realm, like with the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain secret realm previously, which faced a calamity of extinction.
And the cultivators had invisible tasks to carry out.
Of course, these tasks were not directly handed down by Heaven's Augury, but required the cultivators to find their own way.
In the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain secret realm, cultivators needed to resist the beast tide and address the root of the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain's problem to gain a great deal of battle merit.
Then there was that time in Fox Fairy Valley—although it was not a secret realm, when Lu Ye killed the malevolent Fox Demon, it was as if he had resolved a major hidden threat in the Cloud River battlefield, and immediately following that, Heaven's Augury bestowed a reward.
So, in this Soaring Dragon World, what should he do? What major events had recently occurred in the Soaring Dragon World?
He didn't have much of an idea yet. Although a lot of unfamiliar information about this world had flooded into his mind, Lu Ye was not truly Master Ye Liu; he was an outsider and didn't have a thorough understanding of this world.
Moreover, the most urgent matter was to resolve the immediate crisis at hand.
Tyrannical Saber Villa had been destroyed, all of Ye Liu's brothers had perished in battle, and only he and Ye Liuli had escaped due to the desperate defense of the villa's loyal servants.
But this did not mean that their situation had become safe.
If weeds are not eradicated at the roots, they will grow back with the spring breeze; it was probable that at this moment, someone was in pursuit to kill him and Ye Liuli.
He needed to make contact with Yiyi quickly; given his current physical condition, he could exert limited strength, and Ye Liuli's strength was not high either, barely having entered the Cloud River Realm, plus she had exhausted a lot during their escape, so it was uncertain how much strength she could muster now.
With Yiyi and Amber by their side to protect them, their situation would be more secure.
With this thought, Lu Ye raised his hand and touched his battlefield marking, sending out a message.
Soon enough, Yiyi responded.
She and Amber were currently in a dense forest, but it was difficult to determine their exact location.
It seemed that luck was on their side; Yiyi and Amber were also in the Huayan Mountain, but finding a way to meet up with Lu Ye would likely require some searching.
"Liuli," Lu Ye called out gently again.
Ye Liuli, on the verge of falling asleep from weakness, immediately raised her head, her face still streaked with dried tears and her eyes bloodshot, "I'm here, Brother Ye Liu."
"What are the features of our current location?"
Ye Liuli wasn't sure why her sixth brother was concerned about such matters at this time, but after a moment of recollection, she said, "I randomly found a cave, there's a wild jujube tree outside; does that count as a feature?"
"Anything else? What about the nearby terrains?"
Ye Liuli thought carefully and gave a simple description of the nearby terrain.
"I understand," said Lu Ye after hearing her description, then passed on the information to Yiyi through a message.

Ye Liuli looked doubtfully at Lu Ye, but seeing that her sixth brother had closed his eyes again, she held back her questions and asked no more.
