Sage of Humanity
Chapter 1049 - 1047: Advancing to Divine Sea

Upon seeing this cluster of golden light, Lu Ye was momentarily stunned. He hadn't expected such an unusual thing beneath the Blood Sea.

But he quickly realized what this was.

This was clearly the origin of the Blood Race's achievement of the Sacred Seed!

Lann Qiyue had previously told him that the reason she became a Sacred Seed was because she caught a cluster of golden light beneath the Blood Pool, which led to her transformation from a human race to the Blood Race, even becoming one of the Sacred Seeds among the Blood Race.

At that time, when Lann Qiyue told him about this, Lu Ye had a kind of suspicion.

Perhaps, there wasn't originally a Blood Race in this world? Was it the eerie nature of the Blood Pool that led to the birth of the Blood Race Sacred Seed? Thus propagating the Blood Race as a subsequent lineage.

Just as on the Unparalleled Continent, there originally was no Corpse Race, all the Corpse Race members were transformed from the human race.

But this was merely suspicion, not backed by any concrete evidence, and Lu Ye didn't want to delve into the reasons for the Blood Race's birth, as it had nothing to do with him.

Yet he never expected that he would stumble upon such a cluster of golden light in the Blood Sea himself.

The original location of the golden light was impossible to ascertain. During this period, Lu Ye had continuously wielded the power of his Talent Tree to devour the surroundings, turning the area into a vortex, and the golden light was evidently drawn in by the movement of the surrounding Blood Water.

From within that golden light, Lu Ye perceived an extremely dense and overwhelming force, far beyond comparison to the surrounding Blood Water.

It was like a bright moon suddenly illuminating a cluster of fireflies.

And this was precisely what Lu Ye needed at the moment!

Without hesitation, Lu Ye reached for the golden light, clutching it in his palm.

It was as if he had grabbed a scorching piece of iron, sending a sharp pain through his palm, but Lu Ye refused to let go.

The golden light seemed to possess its own intelligence, directly burrowing into Lu Ye's hand, disappearing from sight.

Lu Ye's body trembled, immediately channeling his Mental Consciousness to examine himself.

Suddenly, his whole being radiated, encompassed by golden light, the surface of his skin twisted with vivid, throbbing veins through which gold coursed visibly.

Lann Qiyue turned from human race to Blood Race's Sacred Seed with this cluster of golden light.

Lu Ye, however, was not worried about any such transformation, because he possessed the Talent Tree capable of incinerating all foreign forces detrimental to him, preserving only the energies beneficial to him.

And, indeed, as soon as the golden light entered his body, the Talent Tree began to sway, an unprecedented phenomenon.

Even more surprisingly, the Talent Tree began to emit smoke!

It was really smoking.

In the past, no matter what he was refining, even extremely toxic substances, the most that could be seen on the Talent Tree was the rising of gray mist.

But this time, the Talent Tree was smoking, even the burning leaves on the Talent Tree flickered unpredictably.

Lu Ye suddenly realized that although this cluster of gold light contained an overwhelming force, it was also rife with impurities, or harmful elements towards him.

With the smoking of the Talent Tree, Lu Ye clearly perceived the storage of fuel within the Talent Tree rapidly depleting.

Ever since completing its metamorphosis, Lu Ye could somewhat sense the fuel storage situation within the Talent Tree. Currently, the fuel in the Talent Tree mainly came from the Sword Weapon Sect secret realm, where Lu Ye had wielded the Talent Tree to devour the Earth Core Fire for two full months, directly causing the collapse of the Sword Weapon Sect secret realm, with the gains being immeasurable.

Even though he had been in the Blood Sea for such a long time, the Talent Tree's fuel remained about halfway unused. However, the accelerated depletion now could exhaust all fuel in less than five days, at which point the Talent Tree would lose its ability to incinerate impurities, preventing Lu Ye from staying safely in the Blood Sea, even affecting his future cultivation.

Lu Ye, however, had no time to pay attention to the Talent Tree as, with the infusion of the golden cluster, countless cryptic insights exploded within his mind, leaving Lu Ye unsure where they stemmed from, as if appearing out of nowhere.

He quickly realized these insights originated from the golden cluster!

It wasn't merely an overwhelming force but also a unique inheritance.

The inheritance of the Blood Race!

The Blood Race's Blood Embryo is nurtured from the Blood River, lacking parental care, without elder guidance, yet naturally understanding cultivation and Blood Path Secret Techniques, originating from this bloodline inheritance, inscribed into their very bones.

The Blood Water flowing through the Blood River served as the Blood Race's teacher.

The essence of the golden cluster was also a drop of blood, containing many intricate inheritances, far superior to ordinary Blood Water in the Blood River.

The immense amount of information threatened to burst the mind, the dense and overwhelming energy flowing through the body exacerbating physical burdens.

Lu Ye found himself oscillating between ecstasy and torment, wishing he could faint on the spot, puzzled at how Lann Qiyue managed to endure it.

What he didn't realize was that Lann Qiyue, when devouring that golden cluster, was already rapidly transforming towards the direction of the Blood Race Sacred Seed. For the Blood Race itself, this bloodline inheritance was imprinted deeply within her blood and would gradually awaken as her cultivation increased. Thus, although Lann Qiyue's situation was urgent at the time, she could remain unaffected after enduring the initial phase.

Lu Ye was different.

With the Talent Tree burning impurities and all things harmful to him, the golden cluster couldn't transform him into a Blood Race Sacred Seed, and he retained his human race foundation.

And yet, the Talent Tree's incineration preserved things useful to him, such as the bloodline inheritance contained within the golden cluster.

While Lann Qiyue needed a lifetime to gradually awaken this legacy, it burst forth for him all at once.

Such an impact on his mind is beyond what an ordinary person could bear.

Even a Divine Sea Realm would face complete destruction of Mental Consciousness at this moment, the obliteration of the Divine Sea.

The feedback to Lu Ye's situation was even more direct and apparent.

The dragon's wail from the gold and silver flood dragons' phantom hovering near the Divine Pool dissolved into specks of light, disappearing.

Twin Dragons Guarding the Sea was a method granted by the Hall of Battle Merits' gold and silver flood dragons to protect Lu Ye's psyche, repeatedly proving its worth against Divine Sea Realm combatants, finally today being utterly broken, with no hope of restoration.

The impact, almost imperceptible to the naked eye, barreled towards Lu Ye's Divine Pool.

Cracks appeared on the barrier of the Divine Pool. In the past, even facing the impact of Divine Sea Mental Consciousness, the water within the pool remained undisturbed due to the suppression of the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, a Soul Device.

But this time, even with the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, the water in the Divine Pool was turbulent and restless.

Lu Ye's head felt like it was splitting apart.

The influx of immense information brought him constant epiphanies, yet both his body and psyche were overwhelmed. It was a complex sensation beyond mere words.

Time seemed to flow exceedingly slowly.

Lu Ye had no idea how long had passed, not even aware whether he was dead or alive, until suddenly, all the suffering vanished cleanly, as if everything he had just experienced were mere illusions.

Unable to help himself, Lu Ye shook his head, feeling as though his very brain was shaking.

Still alive...

That was a good thing.

Hastily, he examined himself, and to his great joy, he discovered something astonishing in his heart.

Without even realizing it, he had successfully ascended to the Divine Sea!

The once small Divine Pool had now expanded significantly, truly worthy of the name Divine Sea. However, due to the excessive consumption of Mental Consciousness, the seawater was as thin as mist, leaving him somewhat lacking in vigor.

Yet his body's vitality was boundless.

The power within his body had been accumulating since more than half a year ago. f r\eeNovelFire.c(o)(m)

The most direct manifestation was the spirit force surging within him, becoming as thick as paste.

In fact, after the nine transformations of spirit force, with the ascension to True Lake Level 9, the spirit force within him had already shown tendencies of changing in this direction.

But it was only a tendency.

During this time, no matter how much Lu Ye accumulated his own spirit force, it was merely a quantitative change, not leading to a qualitative one.

The breakthrough of ascending to the Divine Sea undoubtedly elevated his spirit force to new heights.

With his Mental Consciousness drained and his body powerful, Lu Ye felt slightly out of control of himself.

It was as if a three-year-old child were trying to wield a giant iron hammer, an impossible feat no matter how hard one tried.

He wanted to raise his hand, but it felt heavy as a mountain.

He wanted to stand up, but it was as though a star were pressing upon his back.

Lu Ye felt quite helpless.

He could only continue sitting cross-legged at the seabed, silently cultivating, waiting for his Mental Consciousness to slowly recover.

He didn't seek complete restoration but at least wanted to regain simple control over himself.

It must be said, after ascending to the Divine Sea, the speed of Mental Consciousness recovery had significantly increased. Clearly visible, the thin fog sea became denser, then transformed into a water-like substance, beginning to accumulate.

Two hours later, Lu Ye could move his arms. Awkwardly, he retrieved a drop of Soul Cleansing Water from his storage space and consumed it.

The speed of psyche recovery abruptly accelerated.

Another hour passed, and only then did Lu Ye stand up, mobilizing his spirit force and leaping up, soaring upwards.

The consumption of the Talent Tree's fuel was too great, and Lu Ye naturally didn't want to linger long in the Blood Sea. Previously, the lack of cultivation resources left him no choice, but now that he had ascended to the Divine Sea, it was naturally time to make a swift exit.

In a mere moment, he ascended several thousand feet.

Emerging from the Blood Sea and standing mid-air, with sunlight bathing him, Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a mistaken sensation of returning to life.

From now on, he could also be considered a member of the Divine Sea Realm.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother, on ascending to the Divine Sea."

A voice suddenly came from the side.

Turning his head, Lu Ye saw Feng Wujiang standing by the Blood Sea, smiling and looking towards him.

He had been waiting here all along.

When others ascended to the Divine Sea, even if they failed, they would only have their path forward severed. If fortune were on their side, they could attempt it again in the future.

But Lu Ye's breakthrough beneath the Blood Sea was extremely dangerous, adopting a stance of achieving success or martyrdom. Feng Wujiang couldn't help but worry.

He had been waiting here for many days. Now, seeing Lu Ye return safely, having succeeded in his breakthrough, naturally filled him with joy.

Feeling the deep care from his senior brother, Lu Ye turned and solemnly bowed. "I'm sorry for making Senior Brother worry."

Feng Wujiang smiled slightly. "Are you ready?"

"For what?" Lu Ye was puzzled.

"Then here I come!" Suddenly, Feng Wujiang clenched a fist, and as his fingers closed, the surrounding Void seemed to twist faintly.

In the next moment, he transformed into a long rainbow, pouncing towards Lu Ye.

Startled, Lu Ye exclaimed, "Senior Brother, let's talk this through!"
