Lu Yin's enemies weren't just the Blaze Realm, but also the Daynight clan. His reputation had been built on the Daynight clan, and now, the Daynight clan, Blazing Mist Flowzone, and many other places were slandering him as a traitor of the Fifth Mainland.
Lu Yin was someone that even the Blaze Realm and the Daynight clan feared. Could Lu Yin really ask for too much?
Uncle Meng hesitated for a while before finally saying, "It's our Alliance's honor to be able to help Mister Lu, so there's no need to talk about conditions. Rest assured, Mister Lu, the Alliance will do everything in our power to help Mister Lu find the Astral River Ark's location."
Paige was shocked. Uncle Meng was such a generous person?
Lu Yin was astonished, but then he laughed and nodded. "Then, many thanks. I'll remember your help, and I'll repay you generously in the future."
Uncle Meng smiled. "Mister Lu, you're too polite. If you have any requests, just contact Paige directly. The Alliance will do our best."
Lu Yin smiled and exchanged a few polite words before ending the call.
"Seventh Bro, this guy is smart. If he dared to raise conditions with you, then it would have been a one-off deal. No one owes anyone anything, but now you owe them a favor," Ghost Monkey said.
Lu Yin smiled. "I don't owe them anything."
"What do you mean?
They helped you unconditionally, and you don't owe them anything?
Seventh Bro, I've noticed that you've changed. You've become more thick-skinned, "Ghost Monkey mocked.
Lu Yin smiled. "Monkey, do you remember the first time we encountered a Corpse King?"
Ghost Monkey thought about it. "I remember. We were chased by a Hunter into the Lost Heavens, and then we crashed into a spacecraft that had been attacked by a Corpse King. What happened?"
"At that time, there was a Corpse King, a heavily injured woman, and a young man on that spacecraft. That young man was that Paige from earlier," Lu Yin said. He had only recalled this after looking at Paige for a while. He wouldn't find a person familiar for no reason, and there had to be a reason for that.
Ghost Monkey was shocked. "Are you sure?"
Lu Yin was certain. "I'm absolutely sure."
"That's interesting. That means that you were the one who saved that person." Ghost Monkey laughed strangely.
Lu Yin calmly replied, "I remember that woman didn't die. If she's still alive, then they'll know who owes whom a favor."
"Seventh Bro, these people are destined to be your vanguard against the Blaze Realm," the Ghost Monkey said.
If he could successfully deal with the Daynight clan, then his next target would be the Blaze Realm. However, just the Tinder Alliance alone would not be enough to deal with the Blaze Realm. He suddenly thought of someone: Yan Yan, one of the current captains of the Thirteen Imperial Squadrons. This person came from the Royal Frost Continent, which was located in the Blazing Mist Flowzone.
Ghost Monkey suddenly said, "That's strange, Seventh Brother. Since the Tinder Alliance is the Blaze Realm's enemy, why would they be hunted down by the Neohuman Alliance?
Furthermore, it's a Corpse King that can transform into a Corpse King. Even within the Neohuman Alliance, there aren't many of such existences. "
Not every Corpse King was capable of using it. Only very important missions would send out a Corpse King. Was it really necessary to send out such a powerful Corpse King to kill Paige?
The Tinder Alliance might be hiding something.
There were too many secrets in this universe. He didn't need to know all of them. He just needed to make sure that this group of people could help him deal with the Blaze Realm.
Right now, the most important thing was for them to help him locate the Astral River Ark.
The Innerverse would definitely not place the Astral River Ark in the same place as before, and they would definitely want to catch him off guard. Then, let's see who would be the one to catch the other off guard.
Not long after, the new universal armor that Lu Yin had been looking forward to was completed.
He looked at the simple universal armor that had been fused with various precious materials, and he was quite satisfied. This was the best universal armor he had ever seen.
Ban Jiu was also very satisfied with the armor and proudly said, "Your Highness, this universal armor was fused with more than a hundred different materials. It was only possible to fuse them together through precise calculations so that their natures would not conflict with each other. Many of the materials came from the mechanical monsters that you gave me.
"Its defense is above that of a Hunter, and …"
Ban Jiu continued to brag after his introduction, but he was chased out by Lu Yin.
If not for the die's Enhance, Lu Yin would not have been able to use this universal armor. Its defense could not compare to his physical body, and it was only useful after the die's Enhance.
After chasing Ban Jiu away, Lu Yin entered the secret room and blocked off the Ghost Monkey before rolling his die.
The first time he rolled Enhance, he obtained a useless weapon. The second time, he rolled Enhance, but it was still useless. The third time, Lu Yin was left speechless when he discovered that he had actually rolled Enhance.
He sighed ruefully. It would be great if he could control the die in the future, but he had no confidence in playing it like this.
Fortunately, he rolled 3: 00.
He placed the universal armor on the die and began to frantically toss star essence into it. It was as if he was not afraid of spending money.
He was indeed not afraid of spending money, as he had more than twenty million star essence on him, which made him a proper tycoon.
If the materials were good enough, Lu Yin would have been worried that he would not have enough money. However, although the materials used in this universal armor were not bad, they were only good within Ban Jiu's capabilities. He had not thoroughly researched the materials that had been melted from the mechanical monsters.
Even so, Lu Yin was still satisfied.
One time.
Two times.
Three times.
After the seventh time, Lu Yin saw that the universal armor could no longer be dropped. He sighed; it was over. He had upgraded it seven times in total. As for the number of rune lines, Lu Yin smiled, as they were about the same as the giant's right arm. This meant that the armor's defense was close to that of an Emissary's.
Up until now, Lu Yin had upgraded three sets of universal armor. The first set had been enhanced by the precious metal he had obtained from Jieyu, which had allowed it to withstand attacks with a power level of more than 400,000, which had helped Lu Yin withstand the bombardment from Wancheng City. The second set had been able to withstand attacks with a power level of around 260,000, and this third set was his best set.
A set of universal armor that could withstand an attack from an Emissary was probably only one or two people in the Outerverse who could break through its defenses.
And those two people were on his side.
He could do whatever he wanted in the Outerverse now.
However, the amount of star essence he had consumed was huge, and it had exceeded three million star essence. If not for the additional twenty million star essence, he would not have been able to upgrade it.
After putting on the universal armor, Lu Yin felt as if the entire universe belonged to him.
Eh?
Suddenly, his eyes trembled as he looked outside the three rings of the continent. An incomparably majestic number of rune lines had appeared there, and it was no less exaggerated than the fish screen's.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. There should not be such a powerhouse outside Zenyu Star, and this person had come without warning.
Lu Yin decided to put on the universal armor and go out to take a look.
But just as he was about to leave, someone arrived outside King Zishan's palace. It was Ku Wei.
Lu Yin had completely forgotten about this person from the Seven Courts' Ku family.
What was he doing here?
Lu Yin was in no hurry to leave. The powerhouse outside Zenyu Star had hidden himself, and his rune lines had become similar to a normal cultivator's. Even if Lu Yin went out, he would not be able to find him.
Since that person had not barged into Zenyu Star, it meant that he had some misgivings, so there was no need to rush.
Within the palace's garden, Lu Yin was drinking Zhao Ran's special drink when Ku Wei entered. He beamed when he saw Lu Yin. "Congratulations, Your Highness. You defeated the Ten Arbiters and became famous throughout the universe. Even the Neoverse has heard of you. Impressive, impressive."
Lu Yin smiled at him. "What are you doing here instead of training the newcomers in the Tenth Imperial Squadron?"
Ku Wei moved closer, his eyes darting around. "Um, Your Highness, have you ever thought of going to the Neoverse to play?"
Lu Yin replied, "I'm a member of the Hall of Honor, so I have the right to participate in the Star Tower contest."
"Let's go together. We can compete for the Star Tower, tour the Neoverse, and visit a couple of cemeteries. How pleasant, right?" Ku Wei said expectantly, trying his best to put on a harmless expression.
Lu Yin had a strange expression. "Cemeteries?
Are you talking about Progenitor Chen's tomb that your Seven Courts are guarding? "
Ku Wei nodded. "Let's go together. Just treat it as some fun. You can represent the Yu family, and no one will make things difficult for you."
Lu Yin knew that it was not the Seven Courts that had hunted down the Yu family, but rather the Neohuman Alliance. The so-called Seven Courts had only allied together to resist the Hall of Honor for Progenitor Chen's tomb. If he represented the Yu family, no one would make things difficult for him.
He also knew Brother Hui Kong. Although Hui Kong had not explicitly said that he was from the Hui family, that should be the case.
"Why would I go?
Didn't the Yu family give you a spot to enter the tomb? "Lu Yin asked.
Ku Wei was embarrassed. "Well, actually, they did give me a spot, but I can try my best to help you get a spot from the Ku family. If the two of us go together, then we won't have to be afraid of anyone else."
Lu Yin was amused. "You want me to help you get a spot from the Ku family and then give the Yu family's spot to me so that I can help you deal with others in the tomb?"
Ku Wei nodded and helplessly said, "All the heirs of the Seven Courts have their own secret techniques, and their battle prowess is extraordinary as well. Not just anyone can deal with them. Even if I have a spot from the Yu family, I'll be in trouble if I run into them. I need to find a helper."
"Can't the Ku family's heirs of this generation help you?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Ku Wei grinned. "It's fine as long as they don't steal mine. Help me snatch his spot, and we'll go in together. We're on the same side, hehe."
Lu Yin shook his head. "We'll talk about it later."
Ku Wei hurriedly said, "Don't do that, Your Highness. You don't even know what Progenitor Chen's tomb represents. There are battle techniques, secret techniques, and even Progenitor Chen's treasures. Any random item you obtain will allow you to become invincible in the universe."
"Then why didn't your Seven Courts defeat the Hall of Honor?" Lu Yin countered.
Ku Wei was speechless. "We have it, but so do they. Do you think that the people from the Neoverse are like the people from the Innerverse and Outerverse?
They all have their own secret techniques, just like some people from the Sixth Mainland. Once they use their secret techniques, no one can do anything about them. Your Highness, your secret techniques have saved your life countless times. "
Lu Yin had experienced this firsthand, as the people from the Sixth Mainland's Secret Progenitor Realm were too disgusting. Once they used their secret techniques of resurrection, they could not be killed no matter what. They also had the Secret Subjugation Technique, which allowed their strength to soar. They definitely had even more disgusting secret techniques.
