He returned to Peerless Island determined to prepare for the journey and help unite the Jade Snail Star System’s strength.

• Mu He and Black Umbrella thanked Lu Ye and Li Shang before leading the Wood Spirits and Spore Race Star Constellations away to seek a home.

• Tang Jun and Lu Ye reached the Insect Path to Long Cloud and learned that the Great Wheel of Fortune had appeared there, drawing crowds who paid five thousand Lingyu to enter.
• Moon Jade Realm cultivator Zhang recognized Tang Jun, waived Lu Ye’s passage fee, and gave him a token for the Long Cloud Star System.

• Lu Ye watched a charred Star Constellation Realm cultivator emerge from the disc and suffer two strikes of Purple Thunder, while nearby Moon Jade Realm cultivators refused to intervene.

Lu Ye and Li Shang tried their luck at the Great Wheel of Fortune, but while Li Shang gained a powerful Soul Artifact, Lu Ye could not make the wheel spin. As Lu Ye traveled toward a Dead Star in the Long Cloud Star System, he discovered that his consolation prize was an apparently ordinary Bone Ocarina.

• Lu Ye entered the Great Wheel of Fortune with Li Shang, but his Essence Blood failed to activate the disk.
• Li Shang offered Soul Power and received a bronze ring that Lu Ye recognized as a Soul Artifact at the Magic Treasure level.
• After several more failed attempts, Lu Ye turned to leave, and the Great Wheel of Fortune dropped a bone ocarina onto the ground for him.
• Lu Ye and Li Shang left the wheel on the Star Boat and headed toward a Dead Star in the Long Cloud Star System.
• Lu Ye examined the Bone Ocarina during the journey, found that it showed no response to Spiritual Power, and concluded it seemed to be a mere plaything.

Lu Ye and Li Shang discovered that the Bone Ocarina’s music attracted Star Beasts, after it drew several Moon Jade Star Beasts and a swarm of Armadillo Beasts. Lu Ye and Li Shang fought the Armadillo Beasts, while Lu Ye struggled to kill them through their tough armor.

• Lu Ye fled from a powerful Moon Jade Star Beast, then escaped its search by teleporting away with Li Shang’s Soul Possession and hiding on a meteorite.
• After the pair resumed their journey, three Moon Jade Star Beasts pursued them following Li Shang’s music, but Lu Ye shook them off after several days.
• Lu Ye arranged a test on a Barren Star, where Li Shang played the Bone Ocarina until a group of Armadillo Beasts emerged and focused on the instrument.
• Lu Ye confirmed that the Bone Ocarina attracted Star Beasts, took it from Li Shang, and drew his Crag Mountain Saber as the Armadillo Beasts attacked.
• Li Shang used Soul Possession to strengthen Lu Ye, who fought the Armadillo Beasts but found their Scale Armor difficult to penetrate.

Lu Ye and Li Shang were trapped by a copper beam from an Armadillo Beast, which left Lu Ye’s body unbearably heavy and prevented Li Shang from ending her Soul Attachment. After the copper light faded days later, Lu Ye found a Copper Coin inside the beast and suspected it had powered the attack.

• An Armadillo Beast struck Lu Ye with copper light that passed through his blade and Sacred Guard, leaving him heavy and unable to evade the others.
• Lu Ye called for Li Shang to leave his body, but the copper light prevented her from ending the Soul Attachment Mystic Art.
• Lu Ye activated a previously prepared Protective Grand Array, whose Sword Qi killed the Armadillo Beasts while protecting him.
• The copper light remained on Lu Ye for several days, then vanished, allowing Li Shang to separate from him.
• Lu Ye searched the slain Armadillo Beasts and found a Copper Coin inside the beast that had fired the beam.
• Lu Ye and Li Shang could not activate the Copper Coin, so Lu Ye kept it to study its intricate markings.
