Chapter 693 - 326: Gifting a Star, Completion of the Star Gate_2
Lu Yi had a sudden realization in his heart, wondering why this guy was so eager to follow him.
It turned out that it was because he had benefited from listening to his teachings lately.
He chuckled and said, “As long as that’s the case, you handle it. But, I don’t like too many people disturbing me. Do you understand?”
Nuke nodded, laughing, “Of course I understand, rest assured, Young Master Lu.”
Thereafter, Nuke bid Lu Yi farewell and left.
After Nuke had left, Jiang Fan and the others nearby were still a bit slow to react.
Nangong Moyu stared dumbfounded, somewhat flabbergasted, “…Junior Brother Lu, this, this is also too incredible, right?! You did nothing, and someone just gave you a commercial planet?!”
Jiang Fan and others nodded in agreement.
Their worldview had been opened up.
After all, they had never heard before of anyone giving a gift as big as a planet directly.
Yu Yuanwu, however, remained calm and said, “That Nuke is quite smart. If Brother-in-Law were to reveal his identity, who in the Three-Eyed Star Region wouldn’t be willing to offer a commercial planet? Brother-in-Law’s favor is worth far more than that thing.”
Lu Yi smiled and said, “But Nuke is not wrong either. If the Star Gate opens, having a commercial planet is indeed a good thing for Tianming Cultivators.”
The group continued chatting while moving on.
Before long, they returned to the White Cloud Immortal Sect.
Lu Yi and Yu Yuanwu returned to Ling Luo Peak, while the others went back to their own cultivation.
……
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, another three hundred years had gone by.
Lu Yi’s cultivation base had been steadily increasing, and after absorbing the Chaos Divine Crystal, his cultivation speed had accelerated even further.
Just five years ago, his cultivation base had successfully broken through to the ninth layer of True Immortal.
He was only a step away from the peak of True Immortal.
One day, while Lu Yi was cultivating, suddenly the voice of the Ling Luo Peak Master came from outside, “You rascal, come out.”
Lu Yi slowly opened his eyes, a thread of chaos energy swirling in his gaze.
He left the Cave Mansion and appeared outside, where the Ling Luo Peak Master was standing outside the cave in a white robe, arms crossed over her chest.
“Master, what’s the matter?”
Ling Luo Peak Master chuckled lightly, “The Star Gate is built. Master Yu Ming has asked me to invite you over to take a look. You understand the Space Law best, to see if the spatial channel of this Star Gate is stable or not.”
Hearing this, Lu Yi’s eyes lit up, “So soon? Let’s go then!”
Lu Yi and Ling Luo Peak Master transformed into streaks of light and left the White Cloud Immortal Sect, speeding through the Tianming Star and entering the vacuum of space.
Afterwards, Lu Yi caught sight of the massive black ring.
Above the ring, a great amount of mysterious array patterns flickered and pulsed. The space around the entire ring was distorted, curving inward.
Since the entire ring had not yet been activated, the Star Gate was not officially operational at the moment.
Even so, Lu Yi could still see outside the Star Gate, where the space lines differed completely from other areas.
At the edge of the Star Gate, a group of cultivators hovered in the air, gazing at this Star Gate.
When they noticed Lu Yi and the Ling Luo Peak Master approaching, they turned their heads to look over.
“Greetings to Young Master Lu, greetings to Second Miss.” They said respectfully.
Ling Luo Peak Master nodded and examined the Star Gate before looking over to Lu Yi, “What do you think?”
Lu Yi nodded, “The space well looks very stable… but we will need to see after it is activated. Master Yu Ming, is it ready to be operated?”
Yu Ming, who was the leader of this group of artifact refiners and array masters, nodded, “Of course, it’s ready to be activated at any time.”
“Then let’s activate it.”
The crowd nodded, and then Yu Ming pinched the Array Formation, spiritual energy surged around his body, and the other cultivators also pinched their Array Formations.
Being a large cultivation treasure, activating the Star Gate was beyond the capability of a single Peak of Profound Immortal cultivator.
A large number of cultivators were needed to completely activate the Star Gate.
Soon, the array patterns on the Star Gate began to flash continuously, and after a short while, a deep blue luminescence emerged within the entire ring.
In Lu Yi’s vision, the space lines completely receded towards the inside of the Star Gate, forming a stable channel. It was unknown where the end of the channel led.
Regardless of where it led, there must be another Star Gate opposite to it, but importantly, this spatial channel was very stable, indicating there was no issue with the Star Gate.
“According to the Military Leader’s orders, the region connected by this Star Gate is the station of the Sixth Legion. I expect the Military Leader and his men will arrive soon.”
As expected, not long after Yu Ming finished speaking, a Heavenly Boat from the Sixth Legion passed through the Star Gate and stopped in front of them.
Afterward, Yu Tianfeng flew out of the Heavenly Boat, his face filled with a smile, “It seems the construction of the Star Gate is going smoothly.”
Yu Ming laughed, “This is all thanks to Young Master Lu. The spatial nodes that Young Master Lu previously opened are more stable than any we had discovered before. Based on these, the Star Gates we’ve constructed can form very stable channels.”
“Uncle Tianfeng,” Lu Yi and the Ling Luo Peak Master both greeted with smiles.
Yu Tianfeng nodded, “With this Star Gate, even if someone dares to attack you, our Sixth Legion can quickly come over. It’s enough to deter the troublemakers!”
Lu Yi felt somewhat touched, for Yu Tianfeng had indeed done quite a lot for his safety, “Thank you for your concern, Uncle Tianfeng.”
“You and Ling Luo are both part of the Yu Family. It’s all part of our duties,” Yu Tianfeng waved his hand.
Then, he thought of something and laughed, “Right, it’s rare for me to come over, Yi’er, when is your next lecture? If it’s soon, I’ll stay and listen.”
Hearing this, Lu Yi immediately laughed, “I was actually planning to give a lecture, the timing of Uncle Tianfeng’s visit could not be better.”
Of course, it had only been a little over a decade since Lu Yi’s last lecture.
But with Yu Tianfeng being so considerate, he felt obliged to return the favor.
For him, giving a lecture was no loss at all, on the contrary, he always gained something from each lecturing task.
He had previously just not wanted to waste time unnecessarily.
“Hahaha, coming at the right time is better than arriving early,” Yu Tianfeng was very happy.
Afterward, the group returned to Tianming.
Lu Yi began giving another lecture.
Though for Lu Yi, it had just been over a decade since his last lecture, everyone was naturally very excited.
After all, with lectures being held in such quick succession, their gains were naturally greater too.
……
Lu Yi’s lecture lasted a whole day, lasting longer than usual, and when he returned to Ling Luo Peak afterward.
Yu Tianfeng was in seclusion at Yu Yuanwu’s residence, having kicked Yu Yuanwu out, who was still looking baffled and on the brink of tears.
Seeing this, the corner of Lu Yi’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing more.
However, just then, Lu Yi suddenly felt a strong fluctuation pass by.
The next moment, a somewhat familiar aura soared into the vacuum.
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow, recalled for a moment, and quickly recognized the owner of the aura.
It was Nuke.
This fluctuation… had Nuke made a breakthrough?
Lu Yi remembered what Nuke had said during the last Ascension Ceremony, it was about time for his breakthrough.
The timing of these two consecutive lectures just happened to coincide with his achievement.
The Ling Luo Peak Master and Yu Yuanwu also noticed the fluctuation of the aura.
The Ling Luo Peak Master raised an eyebrow, “Is someone making a breakthrough? Who is this person?”
The Ling Luo Peak Master didn’t attend the last Ascension Ceremony, so naturally, she didn’t recognize Nuke.
Yu Yuanwu, however, showed a look of realization, he knew.
He grinned and said, “It’s one of Brother-in-law’s followers, that kid from the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land during the last Ascension Ceremony, he insisted on following Brother-in-law.”
By now, the Ling Luo Peak Master had become immune to Yu Yuanwu constantly referring to ‘Brother-in-law,’ and acted as if she hadn’t heard it.
She looked at Lu Yi in slight astonishment, “…your follower is already a Profound Immortal?”
She herself was only at the level of a Profound Immortal.
This young man… has he really become so outrageous without us realizing?
Lu Yi smiled modestly, “I didn’t expect that he would so eagerly ask to become my follower.”
The Ling Luo Peak Master: “…”
Her mouth twitched, and she chose to remain silent.
Lu Yi raised an eyebrow, “Rarely do we see someone ascend, would you like to go and see?”
The Ling Luo Peak Master shook her head, “I also have some insights, I will go into seclusion first.”
Yu Yuanwu looked at his own residence, tugged at the corner of his mouth, “…Brother-in-law, I’ll go with you.”
He would have liked to go into seclusion, but his residence had been taken over by Uncle Tianfeng.
So much for seclusion…
