Upon hearing that, Lu Ye realised that Qian Wudang had been sending messages to Nian Yuexian.

Although it had only been a short time since Lu Ye got to know Nian Yuexian, he understood her temperament. If she didn’t want to respond to someone, it was pointless for the person to keep sending her messages.

Since Qian Wudang couldn’t contact her, he decided to let Lu Ye pass on his words. Left with no choice, Lu Ye could only use his military token to contact Nian Yuexian. A response was soon received. Seeing that, Qian Wudang felt helpless.

“How should I reply to her, Sir?” Lu Ye glanced at him.

“Tell her to contact me at once as I have something important to discuss with her,” Qian Wudang ordered.

Lu Ye did as he was told. A moment later, he looked at Qian Wudang with an awkward expression.

“What’s wrong?”

“Sir, the Pass Leader told you to get lost,” Lu Ye reported honestly.

Qian Wudang was frustrated. This was giving Lu Ye a headache as well. The two Divine Ocean Realm Masters were treating him like a messenger, and one of them was rude. [What’s wrong with them?]

“There’s one more thing, Sir. The Pass Leader told me to return to Blue Flame Mountain Pass in two days. Regardless of the reason, I can’t stay here any longer,” Lu Ye added.

Qian Wudang let out a sigh. Nian Yuexian had given an order, and she refused to talk to him. It seemed that he couldn’t make Lu Ye stay, which was why he felt it was such a shame. After giving it some thought, he could only agree to Lu Ye’s suggestion. “I’ll accept your suggestion, then. I’ll ask someone to head to Blue Flame Mountain Pass and collect the items every seven days. If you need to head out and attend to some matters, you have to inform me in advance.”

“Yes,” Lu Ye replied.

“These are the materials for the next seven days.” Qian Wudang tossed a Storage Bag at him.

Lu Ye took it and saw that there were 10,000 Fire Spirit Stones inside.

After leaving the Ministry of Laws, he didn’t immediately return to Blue Flame Mountain Pass. Instead, he asked Geng Wuwang and the others to come out for a drink.

The members of Team A3 reminded Lu Ye about it when they fully recovered a few days ago.

Regardless, they had gone through a life-and-death experience together and completed the task. Naturally, it was an occasion worth celebrating. However, he was tasked with making Explosive Fire Spirit Stones at that time, so he couldn’t leave as he pleased. That was why the celebration had been delayed.

Now that he was about to return to Blue Flame Mountain Pass, he certainly had to fulfil his promise.

Geng Wuwang chose the gathering place. It was a restaurant in Grand Sky City. When cultivators gathered, there were no interesting activities. They would only drink together and talk endlessly. Whenever they felt like it, they would have a friendly exchange of moves. The atmosphere was lively. They became closer after the celebration.

When the gathering was over, they returned to their places while Lu Ye headed to the Sanctum of Providence. His Inviolable Saber had been repaired.

After he retrieved the Inviolable Saber, he felt at ease. Without the weapon by his side, he felt that something was not right. Now that the weapon had returned to him, he felt content.

Without hesitation, he activated his Spiritual Power and sobered up in an instant. The next second, he shot into the sky and headed in the Blue Flame Mountain Pass’ direction.

He came across some cultivators from the mysterious organisation while on his way to Grand Sky City, but it was smooth sailing when he returned.

In the evening, he finally arrived at Blue Flame Mountain Pass and headed straight to the bamboo house where Nian Yuexian lived.

From afar, he could see a bored Nian Yuexian leaning against the window while propping up her face with her palm on the second floor. She was looking in Lu Ye’s direction. When their eyes met, she pocketed her gaze and fiddled with her fingers.

Lu Ye stood in front of the bamboo house and cupped his fists. “I’ve returned to report for duty, Madam!”

“Alright,” Nian Yuexian replied gently and glanced at her fair hands as though there were flowers on them.

Lu Ye remained in the same respectful posture for a moment. Upon realising that the woman had no other orders for him, he said, “I’ll take my leave, then.”

With that, he turned around and returned to his bamboo house.

Behind him, Nian Yuexian parted her lips. She had wanted to ask about Lu Ye’s experience as he followed the enforcement team to carry out a task and whether he had fallen into danger, but she couldn’t bring herself to say anything.

Having been on her own for a long time, she had forgotten how to correctly communicate with anyone. Unbeknownst to her, Lu Ye had killed a Divine Ocean Realm Master during the mission.

Time went by peacefully after Lu Ye’s return from Grand Sky City.

Every day, he would cultivate and let the Tree of Glyphs absorb the Fire Spirit Stones’ power. Besides that, he would only take Yi Yi and Amber to patrol the area for an hour.

Although he knew he wouldn’t find anything in this area, he had to fulfil his duty as a patroller. If he didn’t head out to patrol the area, he wouldn’t have the nerve to accept the monthly salary of 30,000 battle points.

Nian Yuexian was as elusive as ever. Lu Ye usually wouldn’t see her for a few days. When he occasionally bumped into her, he would salute her and leave.

While life had been peaceful at Blue Flame Mountain Pass, something major happened in Jiu Zhou. The Cloud River Battlefield had been reopened!

It had been two months since the two worlds started merging, so it should be completed by now.

The reopening of the Cloud River Battlefield meant that many Cloud River Realm Masters would leave the Canyons and Passes. After all, to Cloud River Realm Masters, the Cloud River Battlefield was where they should spend most of their time.

Naturally, not all Cloud River Realm Masters would go to the Cloud River Battlefield. There was never a lack of cultivators who wanted to earn battle points. Besides Cloud River Realm Masters, there were also many Spirit Creek Realm Masters in the Passes.

Regardless of their cultivation, as long as they joined Bing Zhou Watch, they would have their military titles and monthly salaries. In those Passes, there were tasks that Cloud River Realm Masters and Spirit Creek Realm Masters could do. They could increase their powers just as quickly by trading their battle points for Amulets.

Besides this major incident in Jiu Zhou, there was also an important event in Bing Zhou. Purple Star Palace had been established!

On the same day, they announced to everyone in Bing Zhou that the Crimson Blood Sect would be their parent Sect. They had selected 30 peaks in Mount Ao as their foundation. Both Sects were now neighbours.

When the news was spread, it caught some attention, but that was all. First of all, Purple Star Palace was from the Peerless Continent, so they didn’t have any powerful cultivators. Secondly, the Crimson Blood Sect was no longer as glorious as in the past.

The combination of the two Sects was like a newborn baby relying on an old person. Naturally, the powerful forces wouldn’t pay much attention to them.

Fortunately, Tang Yi Feng had a lot of connections, so when Purple Star Palace opened for business, many Divine Ocean Realm Masters from various Sects came to congratulate them. The atmosphere was lively.

Only then did the cultivators from the Peerless Continent realise how powerful Divine Ocean Realm Masters truly were.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye was seated cross-legged in his bamboo house. While holding two Fire Spirit Stones with both hands, he activated the Tree of Glyphs to absorb their power. Although he appeared calm, he was exultant deep within. That was because the Tree of Glyphs’ transformation was about to be completed. [Finally!]

It had been a month since he discovered at the crater that the Tree of Glyphs started showing signs of a transformation. During this period, he had consumed countless Fire Spirit Stones.

Half of his rewards from the underground cave were given to the Tree of Glyphs. It could be said that he had consumed a staggering number of Fire Spirit Stones.

Initially, he thought that with the rewards he had acquired in the underground cave, he no longer had to worry about getting fuel for the Tree of Glyphs. Now, it seemed that he was too naive.

Since so many Fire Spirit Stones had been consumed, he was hopeful about the Tree of Glyphs’ transformation. He wanted to know what the tree would become after the transformation.

Since the transformation was about to happen, he decided to put off cultivating his power and fully focus on this matter.

He consumed even more Fire Spirit Stones in half a day. As he looked into his soul, he could see that the Tree of Glyphs, which was hiding in his Source Spiritual Point, suddenly glowed brightly as its roots swayed.

For the first time, Lu Ye could feel the Tree of Glyphs’ presence, which was something he couldn’t do in the past.

Although Tree of Glyphs had been hiding in his Source Spiritual Point, he could only see it when he looked into his soul. As for its presence, he couldn’t feel anything. It wasn’t until this moment that he could finally do that.

He could feel that he was coexisting with an amazing being in his Source Spiritual Point.

[Has the transformation been completed?] As soon as the thought turned over in Lu Ye’s mind, he was dumbfounded. That was because the Tree of Glyphs suddenly contracted and turned into a flame.

To be more precise, it was more like a tinder because it was shaped like a seed.

The transformation hadn’t ended. The seed kept burning until the flame surged. As that happened, the seed sprouted and grew until it became a massive tree.

Lu Ye looked intently and could finally confirm that the Tree of Glyphs’ transformation had been completed. However, there didn’t seem to be any differences.

The leaves that hadn’t been set aflame were still covered in darkness while the leaves that had been revealed seemed brighter now.

Other than that, he couldn’t see any differences. [Well, the roots seem thicker. Is that all?]

Lu Ye felt his heart sinking. He had spent a massive amount of Fire Spirit Stones. Half of his rewards from the underground cave were given to the Tree of Glyphs for the transformation. He had exerted himself for the past month, but this was all he got.

[No, that’s not all!] He quickly scanned the tree and felt that something was different.

In the past, he couldn’t sense the tree’s presence and what was going on inside it. But it was different now. Not only could he feel the divine item’s presence, but he could also sense everything that was going on inside. For example, he could see how much fuel was left.

Since the Tree of Glyphs had just gone through a transformation, it naturally didn’t have much fuel left. There was some in the past, but it was all consumed during the transformation process.

As he absorbed the power of Fire Spirit Stones, the fuel within the Tree of Glyphs was piling up. As he kept sensing the tree, he was soon surprised.

Although he couldn’t put his finger on it, he could detect the changes in the tree, and the changes were manifested conspicuously.

As a thought turned over in his mind, he quickly fished out a Middle-Grade Spirit Stone and held it in his hand. Following that, he activated the Tree of Glyphs’ power and looked intently.

The next second, he was shocked and gratified.

The intangible roots that only he could see extended and engulfed the Middle-Grade Spirit Stone. As a thought flashed across his mind, he could feel a strong suction coming from the tiny roots.

The Spiritual Power was rapidly leaving the Middle-Grade Spirit Stone and entering Lu Ye’s body through the roots.
