"Senior, are you not from the Technocracy?" Lu Yin probed.
Sui {Dream} Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao said//.suimEnG
The bald old man shook his head. "No, I'm not like those mechanical monsters." The old man then looked at Lu Yin strangely. "Kid, how did you get in here?
Grandpa has been in the Technocracy for countless years, and you're the first human to come in and live to this day. Those fellows in the past all forced their way in and then forced their way out. "
"I was set up by a traitor and was severely injured. I managed to evade the Technocracy's detection with my near-dead body," Lu Yin answered.
The bald elder had a strange look in his eyes. "Grandpa understands the methods of the Technocracy very well. Even the slightest sign of life cannot escape their detection. You're not being honest, and you want to trick grandpa? Hahahaha, but that's fine. The path of cultivation is too cruel, and who doesn't have secrets? It's good to be on guard against each other, hahaha."
The bald old man was very cheerful, as he did not believe Lu Yin's words. However, he was certain that Lu Yin did not belong to the Technocracy. He told Lu Yin many things, most of which were about his experiences in the Technocracy over the past few years.
He said that there was a technological city in the Technocracy, and the technology there was incredible. It could do things that many people could not imagine. Unfortunately, he had destroyed it.
He had said that there was a research team in the Technocracy that was researching immortality, and they had actually managed to discover something about it. It was a pity that he had destroyed their research results and destroyed the research team while he was at it.
He said that the Technocracy also had their own internal competition. When he was bored, he even forced himself to become a judge. Then, he killed all the participants and was hunted down by the Technocracy for over a thousand years.
And so on and so forth. The bald old man said many things. He had not spoken to anyone for many years, or rather, he had not spoken to anyone from his hometown. In the Technocracy, anyone from the Human Domain was considered a native.
"We've talked for so long, but I still don't know senior's name. I'm Lu Yin from the Human Domain's Outerverse's Frostwave Weave," Lu Yin said respectfully. He had thought things through, and there was no need for him to be on guard. With the old man's strength, Lu Yin would not be able to guard against him.
The bald old man was stunned for a moment. He subconsciously touched his bald head. "Title?
Title? "
His eyes were filled with confusion. "It's been so many years since anyone asked about Grandpa's name. What's Grandpa's name again?
What's his name again? "
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "Your surname is Hui?"
Just now, this old man called himself Grandpa Hui.
The bald old man slapped his forehead. "Right, Hui. Grandpa's surname is Hui. I almost forgot. Hahahaha. Hui Kong. Grandpa's name is Hui Kong."
Lu Yin nodded. Hui. What a strange surname.
The bald old man, Hui Kong, was very happy that Lu Yin had appeared. Even though Lu Yin was a junior and they didn't have much in common, he was still happy. He talked to himself, laughing as he spoke, as if he was meeting an old friend.
As time passed, Lu Yin gradually relaxed. He didn't care what the old man's cultivation was, but he could feel that the old man had no one to confide in after all these years. Thus, he decided to open up and chat with the old man. They talked about everything from cultivation and battles to interesting anecdotes. Even if it was just a small matter, the two of them were able to chat happily.
Lu Yin suddenly thought of something and took out some wine and food from his cosmic ring. This was something he had prepared just in case. Who knew where he would be trapped in the future, but it was now useful. "Senior Hui, have a taste of my hometown's wine."
Hui Kong's eyes were filled with excitement. He reached out his trembling hand and swallowed his saliva. He carefully picked up the wine bottle and took a big gulp. He let out a long sigh. "Awesome, awesome, hahahaha."
Lu Yin smiled. "Cheers."
"Hahahaha, cheers!" Hui Kong laughed.
The two of them drank and chatted on a strange planet, just like Lu Yin, Cai Jianqiang, and Zi Rong had in the past. However, this time, there was an additional sense of uncertainty about the future.
Lu Yin had prepared a lot of food and wine in his cosmic ring, but Hui Kong was reluctant to drink and said that he wanted to take it slow.
Lu Yin let him be and was willing to talk freely with him.
Hui Kong spoke a lot and was very cheerful. He looked at Lu Yin with more and more admiration. After living for so long, one could see things more clearly. Although they hadn't met for long, he had already determined Lu Yin's character. Although Lu Yin had some ambition and his methods were fierce, he had a bottom line. Having a bottom line was good. A bottom line was a shackle that bound oneself, and it could make one a human being.
He had seen too many powerful cultivators who couldn't even be considered human. They disregarded human lives and were no different from animals. He himself couldn't be considered kind, but he also had a bottom line.
For several days, the two of them didn't stop talking. Hui Kong had endless things to say, and it was as if he wanted to pour out everything that he had said for so many years. Even though Lu Yin was prepared, he still felt dizzy.
"Little Kid Lu, tell Grandpa Hui, how did you get here?"
Hui Kong asked curiously. He was really just curious, because even he himself had forced his way in.
Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "I'm telling you the truth. I'm someone who has died once."
Hui Kong was astonished and looked into Lu Yin's eyes. After a while, he looked away and muttered to himself, "You've died before, but you can still survive?
Is there such a thing?
Even Grandpa can't do that. "
Lu Yin shrugged. "I was lucky." Then, his heart skipped a beat and he looked at Hui Kong. "Senior, have you heard of the Arcane Art of Life and Death?"
Hui Kong's eyes widened as he looked at Lu Yin. "You didn't succeed in cultivating it, did you?"
Lu Yin nodded. "It's because of the Arcane Art of Life and Death that I survived."
Hui Kong sighed. "This art is very evil and widespread. Countless people want to cultivate it, but no one has succeeded. You actually survived because of it. That explains it."
Lu Yin asked, "Does Senior know if there are any drawbacks to the Arcane Art of Life and Death?"
This was why Lu Yin had told him about the art. He trusted the elder from Driftcharge Planet very much, as the elder had secretly suppressed Lu Yin and forced him to go to the Neoverse to fulfill his promise. However, the elder had removed the restriction and even cut off the path for Lu Yin. Lu Yin was grateful to the elder from the bottom of his heart, but the Arcane Art of Life and Death had been cultivated from the very beginning, and it had not been created by the elder himself. Who knew if there were any drawbacks?
Hui Kong shook his head. "This art's appearance is very strange. Everyone knew about it overnight, but no one has succeeded in cultivating it. I don't know if there are any drawbacks."
"Hahahaha, don't think too much about it, little kid. Coming back from the dead is a joyous occasion. To be able to enter the Technocracy and live to see Grandpa means that we are fated. How about this? You don't have to call me senior anymore. Just call me Big Brother Hui, and I'll call you Little Brother Lu.
What do you think? "Lu Yin was delighted." It's my honor to hear Senior say that. "
"Still calling me senior?"
"Big Brother Hui."
"Hahahaha, Little Brother Lu, come, cheers."
"Cheers."
"Don't, keep it. Drink slowly. There's still a long way to go."
"Alright, drink slowly."
…
Lu Yin was drunk. He had already forgotten how many times he had been drunk. If they wanted to, they could drink continuously for a year without getting drunk, but drinking like that was still …
What was the point of drinking?
Rumble …
The earth trembled, and Lu Yin slowly opened his eyes. They were blurry, and then there was another rumble. He rubbed his eyes and looked up, but his pupils shrank when he saw an incomparably large mechanical arm coming down from the planet. His scalp tingled, and he hurriedly got up to flee.
"Hahahaha, Little Brother Lu, you're awake?
Don't be afraid, Big Brother is here. "Hui Kong laughed from above, clenched his fist, and punched out. The mechanical arm that was comparable to the size of a planet immediately shattered, and the fragments were swept away by the wind.
All of this happened in an instant.
It happened so quickly that Lu Yin thought it was a dream. It wasn't until Hui Kong landed and patted him that he woke up.
"Bro, Big Brother, what was that?" Lu Yin asked blankly.
Hui Kong grinned. "It's just a toy. Don't mind it."
Don't mind it?
How could that be?
Although he couldn't see the rune lines, Lu Yin was sure that the power of that punch could definitely reduce him to dust. Even if he wore his universal armor, it would be useless. How could that be considered a toy?
Well, to someone like Hui Kong, it was indeed a toy.
"Big Brother, have we been discovered?" Lu Yin asked.
Hui Kong sat down cross-legged and patted the dust off his body. "Big Brother has implicated you. Big Brother is as obvious as the sun in the darkness, and the entire Technocracy is watching Big Brother. Hahahaha, they send that thing to cause trouble every once in a while. To Big Brother, it's just a pastime."
"With Big Brother's strength, you should be able to return to the Human Domain, right?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Hui Kong looked up with a complicated expression. "I'm not going back. If I can't find the answer I want, I definitely won't go."
Lu Yin didn't ask any further.
Hui Kong patted Lu Yin's shoulder. "Big Brother knows that you want to go back. You're young, after all, and you care about many things. If you want to go back, then go back. Big Brother will think of a way to send you off."
Lu Yin was delighted. "Thank you, Big Brother."
Hui Kong laughed. "But you have to stay with Big Brother for a few more days. You can't leave after just a few days."
"Of course, I'll do as Big Brother says," Lu Yin said excitedly, as he saw hope of returning home.
Hui Kong smiled. "Although we've only known each other for a few days, Big Brother admires you. If it weren't for some special reason, Big Brother would be willing to become sworn brothers with you. Although we can't become sworn brothers now, Big Brother acknowledges you as a little brother. Hahahaha."
Lu Yin laughed as well, as all of his frustrations during this period of time had been cleared away. He now had such a powerful older brother. Although this older brother might stay in the Technocracy forever, it was still not bad.
Ten days later, Hui Kong still had endless things to say. Lu Yin knew that if he didn't let Hui Kong speak his fill, then he wouldn't be able to leave.
At that moment, an incomparably large spacecraft appeared on the planet. Lu Yin looked over, and his expression changed slightly. He had seen this type of spacecraft before, and it was exactly the same as the one that the Bloodburn Realm had used to invade the Outerverse.
"Someone's here to cause trouble." Hui Kong put down a giant roasted beast leg and then leapt into outer space.
Lu Yin pursed his lips, as he wasn't worried about his safety. He looked to the side and saw that a giant astral beast's corpse had already turned cold, and its leg had already been roasted. This astral beast had the strength of an Enlighter, and Lu Yin didn't know where Hui Kong had caught it, but it tasted pretty good.
In outer space, the spacecraft's hatch opened, and countless miniature machines flew out. There were all kinds of them, and they were densely packed together as they flew towards Hui Kong.
Hui Kong raised a hand and slapped out. Not only did he shatter these miniature machines that had the strength of a Hunter, but he also nearly sent the spacecraft flying.
