Bai Lu, even though she is a merfolk princess, undoubtedly doesn't have much cunning, or perhaps she has a certain degree of trust in Lu Ye. Otherwise, such a thing would never be directly explained to Lu Ye under any circumstances.

Only then did Lu Ye understand why the Merfolk Race had been so kind to him. Yann Miao had mentioned something similar before, though not in such depth.

However, ancient prophecies and the like are obviously unreliable; Lu Ye wouldn't know how to help the Merfolk Race solve the Curse Poison.

At the very least, he doesn't have that ability now. Of course, if he truly has the skill in the future, he wouldn't mind lending the Merfolk Race a hand.

On this day, Lu Ye returned from weeding, as usual activating the Talent Tree to devour the fire-type treasure to replenish his burnt-out reserves, casually chatting with Bai Lu.

He took out the green sea conch and infused spirit force into it.

Every time he went back to the Constellation Palace, Lu Ye would try it, but ever since he had opened the portal that one time, the green sea conch hadn't responded.

Unexpectedly, this time it reacted, and Lu Ye, startled, quickly placed it near his mouth and puffed up his cheeks to blow into it.

Bai Lu obviously noticed something and quickly fell silent, staring at the green sea conch.

As Lu Ye infused spirit force, the sound of the conch arose, and a blue light began to shimmer and gather until at a certain moment, the speck of azure light spread out before Lu Ye, turning into a portal.

"Is this the portal that leads to the Divine Conch Hall?" Bai Lu asked curiously.

Lu Ye nodded, standing up: "I'll escort you back!"

Bai Lu seemed a bit reluctant, but considering she'd been out here alone for several days, she indeed needed to go back, so she obediently followed.

One after another, they passed through the portal, and when they appeared again, they were indeed outside the Divine Conch Hall.

After surveying the surroundings, Bai Lu smiled and said: "Li Taibai, if you want to visit my territory again in the future, it'll be simple. If you come by, remember to find me!"

Lu Ye said: "This portal won't last very long, you'll need to help explain the situation to the Queen and the Great Elder."

"Of course." Bai Lu agreed without hesitation, and indeed, it was necessary to inform the Great Elder and the others in advance, to avoid any misunderstandings later on.

"I'm heading back then." With these words, Lu Ye turned and stepped back into the portal.

"You…" Bai Lu had just opened her mouth, but Lu Ye had already vanished, her tail couldn't help but slap the ground once.

After Lu Ye's figure disappeared, the portal also vanished along with him.

Returning to the Constellation Palace, Lu Ye also noticed the disappearance of the portal. This time, the portal maintained its duration noticeably shorter than the last time. Previously, he even waited outside the Divine Conch Hall for a while, but this time he returned directly without any delay.

It seems the portal disappears once he returns, regardless of how long it sustained before.

Calculating the time, it should be about seven days since he last used the green sea conch to open the portal.

Perhaps seven days is the interval for using the green sea conch's power! Of course, this is just speculation, as the number of attempts is too few to be certain. He'll know for sure after the next use.

He tried to activate the green sea conch's power, but sure enough, there was no response.

Lu Ye continued weeding, often finding things like scallops and sea conchs among the seaweed, all of which he collected.

However, due to the limited storage rings he had and most of them being filled with spirit jade and spirit crystals, Lu Ye could only pile these seaweeds into a corner of the Constellation Palace, and now these seaweeds had accumulated into a small mountain.

Every seven days, Lu Ye would attempt to activate the green sea conch's power, discovering, just as he had previously guessed, that once used, it indeed required a seven-day wait for a second use. The principle behind it remained unclear.

Lu Ye initially thought perhaps it didn't need to be blown; direct infusion of spirit force might suffice, but after trying, he discovered it must be blown to be activated. Not blowing wouldn't work, which was quite peculiar.

Lu Ye finally understood the purpose of the green sea conch's markings. The imprint serves as a kind of positioning.

If Lu Ye left a green sea conch imprint somewhere in advance, the portal would open at the imprint's location once its power was used.

If no imprint was left, then the portal would appear outside the Divine Conch Hall at the Merfolk Territory. After all, this item was taken from the Divine Conch Hall, so such a connection is understandable.

Overall, the green sea conch is a pretty decent treasure. If it can truly allow Lu Ye to enter the Merfolk Race's territory directly from the All Phenomena Ocean, then he can open a unique financial path for himself.

Additionally, it can be used for travel; by leaving an imprint somewhere beforehand, he can return directly by activating the green sea conch's power whenever he wishes to come back.

However, if intended for escape, it's somewhat impractical because using this treasure requires a moment, and it must be blown, too. In the event of a chase by a strong adversary, this thing wouldn't be very useful; with the time required to activate it, Lu Ye would likely have fled far away already.

The only issue now is that Lu Ye is unsure about the distance limit for opening the portal with the green sea conch. If the distance isn't far enough, it won't be of much use. This can't be tried out; it will have to be explored slowly later.

Gazing at the pitch-black monument in the center of the Constellation Palace, Lu Ye is filled with helplessness.

By calculating the time, the Ranking Battle at the Constellation Palace is likely nearing its end, yet the clearing task on his side is only halfway done, and he won't make it to the battle.

It's somewhat regrettable.

In Hall number 1863, Chu Shen is also watching the Cumulated Points Ranking, while holding his audio talisman in hand, attempting to reach Lu Ye.

He's been doing this for many days, but no matter how he tries, he can't get his message sent out. Now, with only a few days left until the Constellation Palace closes, he still can't make contact.

"What is Leader Fa up to?" Chu Shen frowned, filled with confusion.

No cultivator in the Constellation Realm would want to miss such a major event as the Cumulated Points Ranking, because missing it means losing a chance, which concerns future upper realm ascension.

But ever since the auction meeting and parting ways with Fa Wuzun, Chu Shen hasn't seen him again.

It's certain that Leader Fa is still alive because his name remains on the Cumulated Points Ranking. If someone died, their name would vanish from the ranking.

But if alive, why isn't he participating in the Ranking Battle? It's impossible that he's trapped in a confrontation arena and unable to escape—that has never happened before.

According to Chu Shen's estimation, Fa Wuzun's personal strength could at least achieve a top-ten ranking on the Cumulated Points Ranking, maybe even higher, which would be extremely beneficial.

However, in reality, Fa Wuzun's rank has almost fallen off the Cumulated Points Ranking!

Whenever someone challenges him and he doesn't respond within a certain time frame, he is deemed to have lost, reducing his cumulated points.

Initially, no one challenged Fa Wuzun because many had witnessed his power firsthand, knowing his strength, and felt there was no chance even if they did challenge him.

But as Fa Wuzun's rank continually dropped, more challenges were directed his way, causing his rank to plummet rapidly.

When Chu Shen looked at the Cumulated Points Ranking again, Fa Wuzun's name was nowhere to be found, making him sigh involuntarily.

From a young age, there are few people he admires, and Fa Wuzun is one of them. He knows Leader Fa's strength is formidable, and he truly doesn't wish to see Leader Fa's name squeezed out of the Cumulated Points Ranking.

In a moment of anger, he couldn't help but challenge a lower-ranked cultivator, and shortly afterward returned with a bruised nose and swollen face. His cultivation at Constellation Early Stage had him at a disadvantage against a seasoned Late Stage opponent, and if it weren't for the excellent treasures he carried, he would have been killed.

"Leader Fa, where are you?" Chu Shen lamented to the sky, feeling the Cumulated Points Ranking lacks true heroes, letting many lesser figures rise to fame.

Alongside Chu Shen, Little Dumb, Little Crooked, Cai Yue, and Cai Xing sisters are also concerned about Fa Wuzun's ranking. The four received great benefits at the Melee Battle Meet with Lu Ye, so naturally they have more concern for him.

Moreover, they each have Lu Ye's audio talisman marking, so they too have attempted to contact Lu Ye, but have never succeeded.

A few days later, the Constellation Palace trembles suddenly, the Cumulated Points Ranking bursts with brilliant light, and numerous names engraved upon it begin to dance as if coming to life.

In the next instant, these names are imprinted in the Void according to their ranking on the Cumulated Points Ranking, accompanied by a grand and mighty sound resonating throughout the All Phenomena Galaxy. Numerous cultivators turn their heads to watch, irrespective of their location or distance from the Constellation Palace, as long as they face that direction, they can clearly see the enormous ranking imprinted in the Void.

On this ranking, each name shines brightly, heralding the emergence of another generation of powerful Moon Jade cultivators!

Almost every cultivator who leaves their name on the Cumulated Points Ranking at the Constellation Palace possesses strength beyond ordinary cultivators upon ascending to Moon Jade. These extraordinary cultivators will naturally have destinations due to their noble backgrounds. However, those from modest backgrounds undoubtedly become targets for various major forces to attract.

As the ranking imprints itself in the Void, the once opened doors of the Constellation Palace slowly close.

The hundreds of thousands of cultivators inside the Constellation Palace are enveloped by an inexplicable force. When they return to their senses, they find themselves scattered across various locations within the All Phenomena Galaxy.

This location is not fixed; as the Constellation Palace closes, any cultivators inside are randomly dropped somewhere.

Now observing from the outside, the Constellation Palace appears as both real and illusory, still standing in the depths of stellar space, exuding an enigmatic aura.

Inside the real Constellation Palace, Lu Ye gazes intently at the pitch-black monument in the center of the hall. Since he arrived here, this monument has shown no response until just now, when numerous names suddenly appeared.

Among them, Lu Ye spotted many familiar names, undoubtedly those who had previously left their mark on the Cumulated Points Ranking.

Originally, he should have been among them, but unfortunately, his name can no longer be found.

Lu Ye is not surprised by this result, as he is standing still here, while those outside certainly are not going to show him any sympathy. Dropping out of the Cumulated Points Ranking was only a matter of time.
