Chapter 2340 - 2338: Su Yan's Gift

Su Yan undoubtedly knew many secrets.

But considering she was from the Phoen Tribe, it wasn't surprising, as this noble ancient race naturally has unique bloodline inheritance.

She probably intended to eliminate the Star Abyss Heir of this generation from the start.

However, if she truly wanted to do this, she would have to become the Star Abyss Heir, because only by surviving to the end would she have the opportunity to act.

If it were someone else cooperating with her to achieve victory, Su Yan might have acted. But Lu Ye's handling of the Four-Ears World made her feel a sense of belonging, so naturally, she couldn't bear to do it.

The Phoen Tribe is noble and divine, but also merciful, and those with mercy should not be treated without mercy.

Therefore, until the end, she couldn't truly act.

When Qi asked where the two were heading, Su Yan chose to follow Lu Ye without hesitation, just to share the information she knew with him, warning him to be careful.

After that, she intended to part ways with Lu Ye.

This was her original plan.

But who would have known Qi would leave such a hidden hand, causing an absurd disruption.

Looking at the phoenix egg in front of him, half the height of a person, Lu Ye sighed inwardly.

However, soon, he immersed his mind, probing the Talent Tree.

Because previously, in that absurd situation, he sensitively felt some wonderful changes in the Talent Tree; he simply didn't have the time to investigate then.

Only until now.

Upon close inspection, the Talent Tree seemed unchanged, but recalling the feeling from then, it indeed wasn't a delusion.

Examining meticulously, suddenly Lu Ye's mind focused on a path.

Fire Phoenix Dao Runes!

This was one of the earliest spirit runes Lu Ye obtained on the Talent Tree, and after several developments, it finally transformed into the current Fire Phoenix Dao Runes.

However, for him, this rune now doesn't hold much effect. Strictly speaking, it's simply a magic and spell with immense power but requires too long a preparation time. In the layer of Dao Fusion battles, it's impossible to have such preparation time unless, as before, he and Su Yan were swallowed into the belly of the sludge star beast.

The last evolution occurred within Banlan, where he transformed all spirit runes into Dao Runes capable of bearing Dao force.

But at this moment, this rune underwent significant changes.

Under the gaze of his mind, the profound mysteries contained within the rune instantly became clear.

Lu Ye was extremely surprised!

Because if he hadn't misunderstood, the role this rune could now play was too overpowered. Why did it change like this?

He hadn't actively developed the Dao Runes, yet the Fire Phoenix Dao Runes were now fundamentally different.

This change was likely triggered when he broke through the barrier within Su Yan's body...

Because of the Phoen Tribe Primordial Blood?

Thinking about it this way, only this explanation makes sense.

No matter the reason, it's ultimately beneficial for him.

Moreover... not only did the Fire Phoenix Dao Runes undergo fundamental changes, he found that after the absurdity with Su Yan, his understanding and comprehension of the Path of Space had an unimaginable enhancement.

In space fragments, Lu Ye had consulted Su Yan and cultivated Space's Marvel for two full months, indeed gaining a lot, but compared to the space master innate to the Phoen Tribe, he was still far behind.

Now, although the gap remains significant, compared to before, Lu Ye feels as if he's had an epiphany.

With just a thought, on the Talent Tree, the Void Dao Runes swiftly began to evolve, various ingenious ideas flooded his mind, rapidly simplifying and optimizing the Void Dao Runes.

Only after several days did Lu Ye open his eyes, shining with vigor.

There's no denying the considerable gains he just made.

The fundamental change of the Fire Phoenix Dao Runes aside for now—it was excellent, but if it could be left unused, that would be best, because needing it would mean facing an unresolvable life-and-death crisis.

His accomplishments in the Path of Space experienced a major boost, the Void Dao Runes were refined and optimized, and he had many ideas he wanted to try, but not now; there's no rush to experiment later.

Besides, there was an unexpected delight...

Lu Ye felt his efficiency in refining Dao power greatly improved, as though his existence now had a higher affinity with the surrounding void's Dao power, making refining easier and simpler.

Is this the benefit of becoming the Star Abyss Heir?

He had known previously that after becoming the Star Abyss Heir, not only would his cultivation efficiency greatly improve, but the opportunity to receive the Star Abyss Blessing would increase significantly.

For any cultivator, these two benefits are tangible—the enhancement in cultivation efficiency means saving time on cultivation, as advancing each realm takes a long time, and any increase in efficiency can have a substantial impact.

As for the Star Abyss Blessing, needless to say, it's able to enhance a cultivator's foundation. Though each elevation isn't large, over many instances, it becomes considerable.

This change let Lu Ye know that even though he hadn't been given a clear label, he was indeed the Star Abyss Heir. It's the blessing from the Will of the Star Abyss to himself!

Su Yan should be the same.

This will does not differentiate despite their vigilance and slight hostility towards it.

It's quite amusing, and it indirectly proves that this will lacks its own thoughts; it's more akin to a rule.

In the following half day, Lu Ye thoroughly checked himself several times, ensuring there were no other notable changes.

Thus, the clash for the Star Abyss Heir was truly over.

A moment later, in a concealed location, Lu Ye soared out, carrying a phoenix egg on his back, full of energy.

It's time to begin his return journey—once he returns to Banlan, he can start working on advancing to Dao Fusion!

It hasn't been easy; coming from the stellar space, five years have passed, finally achieving Perfection in Entering the Path.

Five years may be fleeting for most cultivators at this level, but Lu Ye felt it was a long time. No matter where he was, even in the bustling Banlan, he felt alone.

Because his home is not in Banlan.

His home is eternally in the stellar space he emerged from, where his friends, family, and companion reside.

In five years, there shouldn't be too much change in the stellar space; the opening of the stellar space gate is a gradual process, and the Star Abyss living creatures invading the stellar space should not be too powerful now.

Even if he spends a few more years getting back, there's still plenty of time.

With subtle senses from afar guiding him from Banlan, Lu Ye forged ahead.

His speed in flying is faster than Banlan's, so by following this direction, he'll naturally catch up.

However, this Star Abyss Heir clash lasted eight months, which means Banlan has drifted for such a duration; according to his calculations, it will take at least half a year to catch up with Banlan.
