The Great Sage of Humanity
Chapter 20, Riding the Ship

...The cultivators of each Sect came and took away new disciples, so the number of people present slowly dwindled. Yu Xiao Tiea left with a female cultivator from the Valley of the Hundred Flowers. Previously, he had said goodbye to Lu Ye. In just an hour, all one hundred people had left, leaving only Lu Ye....

Two hours later, the people from the Red Blood Sect were still nowhere to be seen. Lu Ye wondered what was holding them back. Since he did nothing, he decided to find a clean spot and sat down with his legs crossed before trying to open the second Spiritual Point.

His first Spiritual Points had been filled and he had mastered the Gold Liberation Technique, which he had obtained from Manager Yang. However, since he was unable to find the second Spiritual Point, his progress was hampered.

Yu Xiao Tiea had told him that this was a common problem facing cultivators who were just starting out. It was because cultivators like them did not possess enough Inner Strength to find their own Spiritual Points. There are two ways to solve this problem. One is to try your luck and explore it slowly. The other way was to ask a cultivator who was at least at the Cloud River Realm to give them guidance.

This was the main reason Lu Ye wanted to join the Sect. During his time in the mine, he had made several attempts to find his second Spiritual Point but to no avail. If he could join the Sect and ask Senior to help him, it would save him from a lot of trouble.

However, no one from the Red Blood Sect had appeared yet. Since Lu Ye did nothing, he decided to try his luck. He only needed Inner Strength, but if he was lucky enough to find a second Spiritual Point, his strength would increase significantly.

Two hours later, he opened his eyes with a frustrated expression. It seems that luck really has nothing to do with him. He failed again in his attempt. Fortunately, he had been given enough food recently and he was still taking some Blood Qi Pills, so he had enough vitality in his body. He only needed to refine his vitality to replace his losses.

At this time, more farmers were moving around the valley. It seemed like they were going to gather in the same place, and judging from this situation, it was obvious that they were going to retreat.

Before Manager Yang died, he had told Lu Ye that the Grand Sky Coalition was unable to stay in this place for a long time as they had to retreat in just one to two months. It seems that what he said is true.

Therefore, if Manager Yang could kill Lu Ye and hide inside the secret passageway, he would have a chance to escape the door of death.

However, he never expected that an ordinary person like Lu Ye would have the guts to trap him by bringing him to the place where he was encompassed by the Yuan Metal Strength Field, causing him to be unable to use his strength. He still did not understand how he could be killed by someone like Lu Ye.

Just then, someone was heard shouting from a nearby place. Lu Ye turned his head to look at the source of the voice and saw a middle-aged cultivator hovering in the air. Spiritual Strength was seen surging around him as something emerged from his palm.

There was still a distance between Lu Ye and the cultivator. Before he could see what it was, he would soon see a sight he would never forget.

The thing that flew out from the middle-aged cultivator's palm expanded along with the wind and turned into a gigantic object in a short period of time and floated in the air. It was a huge ship that floated in the air!

The ship has three floors and is 300 meters long. His entire body was dark, so it was hard to tell what material it was made of. The outline of the ship was smooth, and the objects pinned around the ship gave off a frightening feeling.

Lu Ye had never seen anything this weird before, so he was glued to his place.

In fact, it's not the only ship. Not long after the middle-aged cultivator made a ship appear from the air, more ships continued to appear. Afterwards, someone shouted, “All the people from the various Sects, get on the boat now!”

Then, the cultivators of the different Sects gathered at the same place turned into colorful light rays and shot towards the ship. Looking from afar, the view was truly incredible.

After recovering from his shock, Lu Ye could feel the emotions in his heart surging. He had been in this place for over a year. Although he was aware that this was the world of cultivation, he spent most of his time with mineral ores. Moreover, the surrounding people were all lowly mining slaves who could lose their lives at any moment.

Therefore, he never expected that the cultivation technique would be displayed to him in such a colorful manner someday, which was beyond what he could comprehend. It also made him realize clearly that this world was different from his home world.

“Excellent, isn't it?” Just as he was mesmerized by the beautiful sight, someone was heard speaking next to him.

With a faint smile, the old man rubbed his beard with a finger. As he looked at the ships floating in the air, he said slowly, “This is the Great Sky Coalition Flying Dragon Boat, which is useful for occupying the city and destroying the fortress. So, they will only use this ship if absolutely necessary.”

Looking at the profile of the old man, Lu Ye recognized that the old man was the one who brought him out of the mine. Recalling how others called out to him, he immediately saluted him. “Older Tang.”

In response, Elder Tang smiled and gestured to him. "Let's go."

"Where are we going?" Lu Ye was confused.

Elder Tang pointed to one of the ships. “We have to get on board now.”

Lu Ye replied hesitantly, “But I have to wait for my Senior Brother and Sister from the Red Blood Sect.” Suddenly, she realized something. “Are you from the Red Blood Sect?”

There was no reason for Elder Tang to look for him and even ask him to board a ship, unless he was from the Red Blood Sect.

“I was held back by some urgent matters. Are you getting anxious from waiting?” Elder Tang asked in a friendly manner.

[He really is from the Red Blood Sect!]

"No, I didn't do it." Lu Ye was a little excited. Previously, the handsome Senior Brother and the soft-spoken Senior Brother had come to pick up someone else. However, when it was Lu Ye's turn, it was an old man from the Red Blood Sect who came. With that said, the old man was a kind person.

It was because he had helped Lu Ye unlock the Retaining Key in Zhou Cheng's Storage Bag. Although Lu Ye was uncertain about how powerful Elder Tang was, he had no right to refuse him if Elder Tang wanted Zhou Cheng's Storage Bag. Even so, the old man only took a bottle of Dragon Tiger Pill as his payment and gave the rest to Lu Ye.

"Let's go." Elder Tang smiled and jumped into the air. Then, Lu Ye felt that he was overwhelmed with a warm aura before he was sent flying towards one of the Flying Dragon Ships with Elder Tang.

After they landed on the deck, Elder Tang went straight into the boat while Lu Ye followed him.

There are many rooms on the ship. At this moment, many people, who were cultivators from the various Sects, were passing through the corridor. When they saw Elder Tang, they all saluted him respectfully, which astonished Lu Ye.

The Red Blood Sect was only a Ninth Level Sect. According to what Yu Xiao Tiea told him, Elder Tang should have been the Cloud River Realm Master. If he were in the Real Lake Realm, his Sectional rank would be higher than the Ninth Level.

Therefore, it seemed that even though Elder Tang was not that strong, he was respected by most people. [Does it have anything to do with his age?]

When the young man and the old man reached the deepest place, they stopped in front of a door. Elder Tang waved his hand, after which a light flashed at the door. Then, he opened the door and entered the room. Lu Ye followed him up close and closed the door.

Upon entering the room, Lu Ye looked around and realized that it was a simple bedroom with minimal decor. There was no bed or table because the only piece of furniture in the room was a futon on the ground.

There is a window that cannot be opened. The round window sills are covered with transparent glass, so the view outside can be clearly seen.
