Sage of Humanity-Chapter 740 - 738: Sky-mending Platform

The Lu Ye before them no longer had the frail breath and dim vitality he once did, the young man standing in front of them even seemed in better condition than when they first met.

Moreover, Huang Liang couldn't tell whether it was an illusion or not, but standing here, Lu Ye seemed to have become the center of heaven and earth!

"Is it Ye Liu, young friend?" Yuen Changcun tentatively asked.

He had just said that Lu Ye had been freed, yet here the other party was, appearing before him, sweeping away his previous state of decay, burgeoning with vitality like a lively dragon.

If there were others who looked like him, it might be understandable, but with Yiyi and Amber accompanying Lu Ye, who else could this person be if not the savior Ye Liu?

"It's me. The details are too complex for brief words, but I fortuitously stumbled upon some opportunities during my travels that allowed me to survive by luck."

Lu Ye casually explained without going into much detail.

Huang Liang couldn't help but rejoice, "Good, very good!"

He had deeply regretted Lu Ye's predicament, feeling such a person should not meet an early demise. Now that Lu Ye had safely returned, he naturally felt happy.

Once again certain in his heart, this Ye Liu was surely the person blessed by the fortune of heaven and earth, the savior. Such injuries could not kill him, and even a trip taken on the verge of death had brought about a chance for revival—who else could have such extraordinary fortune?

The fortune of the entire Soaring Dragon World must be bestowed upon him.

"Such a fortunate event must be celebrated grandly!" Yuen Changcun also smiled broadly, wishing he could perform a set of the Words and Sword Theorem right there and then to relieve the overwhelming joy in his heart.

"Two seniors, please gather all existing sect leaders and array cultivators of the Soaring Dragon to convene at Medicine Valley. I may have a solution to the crisis of the Soaring Dragon," Lu Ye said.

Upon hearing this, both Huang Liang and Yuen Changcun were shocked.

"Really?"

Though the battle under the Sky Ravine had bought the Soaring Dragon World a breath of life, as long as they were under the influence of the Blood World, the utter destruction of Soaring Dragon could not be averted.

Currently, beneath the Sky Ravine, the array cultivators of Soaring Dragon had already laid down several big arrays. The Blood Race dared not rashly descend, but even without their descent, the Blood World's consumption of Soaring Dragon continued relentlessly. As time passed, the essence and origin of the Soaring Dragon World continued to drain, inevitably leading to its eventual demise.

Faced with this situation, Soaring Dragon could only await its end helplessly.

How could they not be thrilled and overjoyed upon suddenly hearing such great news from Lu Ye?

"It is worth a try!" Lu Ye did not speak with complete certainty, as he himself was unsure of success, having never done it before.

Even though Lu Ye spoke without full assurance, when this news spread, the entire Soaring Dragon cultivation world was abuzz.

Accompanied by the call of the Three Great Overlord Sects, the sect leaders and their array cultivators from various sects rapidly made their way towards Medicine Valley.

In the aftermath of the battle under the Sky Ravine, the name of Ye Liu of Tyrannical Saber Villa had become known to all.

Setting aside the identity of the Soaring Dragon Savior, merely as the Lord of the Dragon Throne was enough to place Lu Ye among the very top echelon of the entire Soaring Dragon cultivation world.

His mastery of the Array Path was unparalleled in ancient and modern times, far surpassing the current standards of the Soaring Dragon cultivation world.

His willingness to attempt to end the crisis of the Soaring Dragon World naturally earned the unconditional cooperation of all major sects.

"Lu Ye, everyone has arrived."

Outside the straw hut, Yiyi's voice arose.

Inside the straw hut, Lu Ye slowly opened his eyes, the bright light in his pupils fading away.

He had been back in Medicine Valley for two days now, and in just that time, Soaring Dragon had managed to prepare everything perfectly, a testament to their efficiency.

During these two days, he had stayed in the straw hut, pondering over some profound mysteries.

Those mysteries were the final gift from Ye Liuli!

Before she disappeared, his seventh sister had once again revealed the birthmark on her back, but by that time, the appearance of the birthmark had changed somewhat from what Lu Ye had previously seen.

Around the birthmark, there were conspicuously many more mysterious patterns.

Those patterns involved some extremely profound secrets of the Array Path!

With Lu Ye's perceptive eyesight, having seen them once, he could not possibly forget. On his way back to Medicine Valley, he had been reflecting on the mysteries within those patterns.

This was where his confidence in speaking those words to Huang Liang and Yuen Changcun came from.

His cultivation in the Array Path indeed surpassed the entire Soaring Dragon World, but even he alone could not completely resolve the crisis of the Soaring Dragon.

However, with the final gift from Ye Liuli, the impossible might be achieved!

Even before the battle at the Sky Ravine began, Lu Ye had asked the Little Miracle Healer a question.

If clothing can be mended, how do you mend the heavens when they are torn?

At that time, he realized that the ultimate purpose of his journey to the Soaring Dragon World was to mend the heavens.

All along, he had no clear idea how, until the last time he saw Ye Liuli's birthmark.

This body of his seventh sister bore the Will of Heaven and Earth; the extra patterns on that birthmark were the self-evolution and derivation of Heaven and Earth's Will, the very source capable of mending the heavens!

The Soaring Dragon World had once had an era where the Divine Sea Realm existed. It seemed that the present cultivators had forgotten the splendor of that age, but Heaven and Earth itself would not forget.

This was the confidence with which the Will of Heaven and Earth could derive means to mend the heavens.

However, with the current level of Lu Ye's cultivation, trying to turn this confidence into a tangible method was far beyond his ability alone.

He needed the power of the entire Soaring Dragon World.

Stepping out of the thatched cottage, the outside was already crowded with people. Eyes converged on him, and upon seeing Lu Ye, all bowed in unison, including figures like Huang Liang, Yuen Changcun, and Monk Guangjing.

This was out of respect for his previous battle under the Sky Ravine.

Lu Ye returned the gesture. His eyes swept over the crowd and briefly settled on Little Miracle Healer standing to one side.

This woman… was highly problematic!

From the first sight of her, Lu Ye felt something was off. It was bad enough that she bore Hua Ci's face, but even her voice and tone were nearly identical.

When he had returned a few days ago, upon seeing Little Miracle Healer again, she showed no trace of surprise, as if she had known all along that Lu Ye could come back from death.

She even mockingly said in a tone all too familiar to Lu Ye, "Still alive, huh?"

This made Lu Ye think he had really encountered Hua Ci.

Although he was certain there was something off about her, Lu Ye could also confirm another thing: this woman posed no threat. If she were a threat, both he and Ye Liuli would have been dead long ago.

Putting aside these thoughts, Lu Ye spoke, "Fellow Daoists, I have called you all here today for one purpose, to discuss how to resolve the crisis of the Soaring Dragon World! Over these past days, I believe you all have come to understand, though we indeed won over the Blood Race in one battle, as long as we remain dependent on the Blood World, Soaring Dragon will not have peace, and the Blood Race will eventually return. Should that time come, whether Soaring Dragon's current strength can withstand them remains in question."

There were many cultivators, yet all listened quietly, with no one interrupting.

Only after Lu Ye finished speaking did Huang Liang say, "Fellow Daoist Ye, since we are here, we will trust you unconditionally. If you have a good strategy, please do not hesitate to teach us, and all in Soaring Dragon will fully cooperate."

Yuen Changcun also nodded, "Indeed, at this critical juncture of life and death, I believe that all Soaring Dragon cultivators can work together to overcome this difficulty."

The many cultivators below voiced their agreement as well.

Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction, "If that is the case, then I will not shirk my duty. The only way to resolve the crisis in the Soaring Dragon World is to rid it of its dependency on the Blood World!"

"Eight hundred years of dependency have greatly sapped the foundation of Soaring Dragon. Eight hundred years ago, it was not able to rid itself of the Blood World's dependency, and even less so today, so what we need to do is to bolster the might of Heaven with human effort, thus there lies a chance of success!"

"How can we bolster the might of Heaven with human effort?" someone couldn't help but ask.

"Base it on formations and mobilize the great trends of Heaven and Earth!"

Lu Ye raised his hand, and promptly, a prepared cultivator leaped forward and set up a large jade tablet in front of him. On that tablet were complex patterns, unevenly embossed, with meandering crisscross lines.

This was clearly a topographic map of the entire Soaring Dragon World.

The uneven parts were the mountains and valleys, the meandering intersecting lines were the great rivers.

This was something he had tasked the Imperial Heaven Sect to craft before.

Lu Ye placed his hand on the jade tablet, his spirit force activated, and in an instant, sixty-four points of light shone on the tablet.

Those sixty-four points were distributed across various states of Soaring Dragon. If these points were connected in sequence, they would form an intricate pattern enveloping the entire Soaring Dragon World.

"I need Fellow Daoists from various states to build a big array platform at designated locations. I will give you the layout and construction method of the big array platform later, and you just need to follow the map to locate them."

The scene remained silent for a long time; everyone's eyes were drawn to the points of light on the jade tablet.

Anyone could see that this was a major operation, an unprecedented move in the history of the Soaring Dragon World. If such a big array were successfully built, it would cover the entire Soaring Dragon World.

Previously when Lu Ye spoke of basing it on formations and mobilizing the great trends of Heaven and Earth, they did not quite understand, but seeing this scene before them, many suddenly realized.

If successful, it indeed could mobilize the entire great trend of the Soaring Dragon World to counteract the dependency on the Blood World. As to whether it would have the chance to rid itself of the Blood World, that would only be known when the time came.

But this kind of massive formation covering the entire world was not something the current cultivators of Soaring Dragon could think of, and even if it were successfully set up, who could activate such a formation?

Such a big array, even if someone from the Divine Sea Realm were reborn, could they manage it?

"The magic platform in Ganzhou will be built by my Vajra Temple!" In the silence, Monk Guangjing spoke, his voice resonant as a large bell.

"This one in Lizhou is the responsibility of Haoran Academy!" Yuen Changcun quickly followed up.

"Then my Imperial Heaven Sect will take responsibility for the one in Yuanzhou!"

Following the voices of the Three Great Overlord Sects, the rest of the small and big sects responded in kind, though their strength was not as formidable as the Three Great Overlord Sects, so several of them together took responsibility for one magic platform.

Within moments, all sixty-four magic platforms had been claimed.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, does this magic platform have a name, and how shall we call it?" someone below asked.

Lu Ye's gaze deepened as he looked towards the far north Sky Ravine, and he softly uttered, "Sky-mending Platform!"
