Lu Yin headed towards the place with the highest number of rune lines.
At the same time, the moment Lu Yin arrived at Nightking Planet, Li Zimo also arrived at the neighboring First Flowzone.
Lu Yin had brought a group of people from the Outerverse to the Innerverse, and Li Zimo was one of them. His goal was to join the Sword Sect, which was both his own wish and the mission that Lu Yin had given him.
The Sword Sect represented the highest level of swordsmanship in the Innerverse and Outerverse. Even in the Neoverse, there might not be an existence that could surpass the Sword Sect in terms of swordsmanship. Back in the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Three Skies, Zhiyi had been shocked by the Sword Sect's swordsmanship.
For a genius swordsman like Li Zimo, the Sword Sect was the place that he yearned for the most.
Without reaching the First Flowzone, one would never be able to imagine the status of swordsmanship in this Flowzone.
The simplest example was that out of ten cultivators, at least five would use swords. This was the First Flowzone.
Li Zimo looked at the distant sky with a burning gaze. This was the place that he had always dreamed of. Fortunately, he had left the Shenwu Continent.
Evernight City had a city within a city called Nightless City. It had been built specifically for the purpose of hosting banquets. Within the city, there were treasure gambling dens, scripture pavilions, brothels, casinos, and more. Almost everything that could be done in the outside world could be found here, and they were all of the best quality.
Nightless City lived up to its name. It was brightly lit, and not a single trace of darkness could be seen during the banquet.
Lu Yin had just arrived at Nightless City.
He looked at the bustling streets in front of him, the fragrance wafting through the air, and the pink flowers that filled the sky. He wondered if this was Evernight City, as it was completely different from the outside world.
Many people had gathered here from all directions. Some were from the Daynight clan, but there were also cultivators from other powers.
The universe was vast, and there were many geniuses. Even if there were only a few from each Flowzone, this place would still be packed.
The Nightless City's guests were all youths with great potential. There was no need to mention the Top 100 Rankings, but even those at the level of Northline Flowzone's Lily Anne were qualified. There were many people at Lily Anne's level in the Innerverse, and even a small portion of them was enough to make Nightless City flourish.
The people that Lu Yin saw here were all the universe's famous youths.
Any one of them was a famous genius from a Flowzone.
Ling Que's rune lines were among them. Aside from Ling Que, there were many other rune lines, and two of them even surpassed Ling Que's rune lines. If they were from the younger generation, they should be experts at the top of the Top 100 Rankings.
As soon as he stepped into Nightless City, beautiful and enchanting women immediately surrounded him and led him inside.
"Seventh Bro, it's time for you to become a man as well." The monkey suddenly sighed.
Lu Yin pursed his lips and tactfully rejected the girls. He looked around and his gaze was attracted by a tall, ancient building in the distance. He slowly walked over.
Suddenly, he smelled a special fragrance. It was extremely alluring and made him drool. It was the smell of a top-notch delicacy.
He followed the scent and saw a cultivator cooking a dead fish-like creature not too far away.
"Isn't that the fruit fish in the galaxy?
I've heard that these are top-notch ingredients, and each one is extremely valuable. They're extremely difficult to catch. "
"These fish live in the depths of the Astral River, and anyone who isn't an Enlighter shouldn't even think of approaching them. Even if you're an Enlighter, catching these fish depends on luck. Otherwise, you might be eaten by the monsters in the Astral River if you're not careful."
"Oh, fruit fish! I've seen an elder in my family eat one before. It's said that every inch of this fish's flesh contains the fragrance of hundreds of mutant fruits. More importantly, the fish's flesh will gradually resemble the flavor of your favorite fruit. It's amazing."
"Not bad. This fruit fish can't even be bought with money, but they actually have it here. As expected of the Daynight clan. This banquet was worth it."
…
Lu Yin walked closer and saw that the area was already filled with people. They were all youths, and they all stared at the fruit fish with burning eyes. They didn't know who would end up eating it.
"Uncle, how much is this fruit fish?" someone asked a cute little girl with an expectant expression.
The cultivator who was cooking the fish was a middle-aged man, and he didn't even raise his head as he replied, "There's no need to spend money in Nightless City. The Daynight clan has already paid for it. If you want to eat it, come and get it yourself."
The crowd clamored, and everyone grew excited.
"It's free! The Daynight clan is too generous!"
"This isn't something that can be bought with money. How much can a fruit fish cost at most? The main thing is that it can't be bought. I never thought that I'd be so lucky today."
Lu Yin was also looking forward to it. Fruit fish sounded delicious. Was this the flavor of his favorite fruit?
More and more people gathered around, and soon, there were over a hundred people crowding the area.
There were over ten thousand people participating in the banquet, and over a hundred people were gathered here.
Everyone was squeezing forward, waiting for the moment that the fruit fish was ready.
As the fragrance wafted through the air, the middle-aged cultivator opened the pot. The fruit fish boiled, and the flesh of the fish bloomed like flower petals. All sorts of exotic fruit fragrances filled the air, causing everyone to salivate.
The people at the very front tried their best to eat the fruit fish, but there was an invisible force around the fruit fish that isolated them from the crowd.
The middle-aged cultivator was pleased with himself. He had promised the Daynight clan that he would give the fruit fish to them, but he hadn't said that he would definitely let them eat it. These juniors didn't have the qualifications to eat his food. After the banquet ended, the fruit fish would be his, and the Daynight clan had already paid for it. It was perfect.
They were just a bunch of kids.
The people at the very front couldn't even push aside the invisible force, and even their battle techniques were useless. Gradually, everyone's expressions changed. Eating this fish wasn't that easy, and there really wasn't anything free.
Lu Yin looked at the middle-aged cultivator strangely. Although this person hadn't revealed his rune lines, there was no mistaking his aura. It was a terrifying aura with a power level of over 300,000. This person was an Enlighter.
Lu Yin felt that a cultivator with a power level of over 300,000 was toying with them.
The people at the front were defeated, and the people at the back took their places.
The fruit fish attracted quite a few people, but no one was able to eat it.
The middle-aged cultivator's lips curled up, as he wanted to laugh.
At this time, Lu Yin squeezed his way to the front. He had adjusted his appearance, so no one recognized him. Otherwise, he would have been targeted by the Daynight clan.
As he looked at the tempting fruit fish, Lu Yin smiled at the middle-aged cultivator.
The middle-aged cultivator blinked and smiled back, but he cursed inwardly, What an idiot.
"Hurry up, we can't eat it anyway. Hurry up," someone urged from the back.
Lu Yin raised his hand, and his star energy condensed into a pair of chopsticks that slowly approached the fruit fish. He stared at the boundless rune lines that surrounded the fruit fish, and it was almost impossible for the younger generation to break through this level of defense.
However, it was useless against Lu Yin. Lu Yin's chopsticks touched the invisible barrier, and with a slight shake of his wrist, a huge force flowed through the chopsticks and penetrated the invisible barrier. He easily touched the fruit fish, picked it up, and put it into his mouth. The entire process took less than two seconds.
The middle-aged cultivator was stunned. What was going on?
Behind him, no one had expected Lu Yin to eat the fruit fish, and their eyes were filled with envy.
The fruit fish melted in his mouth, and there was a mellow and sweet taste to it. There was also an indescribable fragrance that filled his taste buds. This fragrance was very strange and alluring, and when it slid down his esophagus and down his throat, it caused his body to tremble. Everything in front of him seemed to change, and the familiar yet strange taste brought him back to the river of time. He heard the laughter of children in his ears.
"Little Seven, eat! This fruit is the best."
"Second Bro, can I eat it?
I-I don't dare. "
"Eat it, it's fine."
"Second Bro, you should come up first. The pool is cold."
"Eat it, we'll leave once you're done."
…
Lu Yin held his chopsticks in a daze, and everything in front of him blurred. He didn't know when this had happened, who was that Second Bro? Had he ever tasted something like that before?
That fragrance was clearly unfamiliar, but why did it feel so familiar?
This was his body's instinctive memory, and he had definitely tasted it before.
"Hey, hurry up!" someone behind him shouted in dissatisfaction, pulling Lu Yin out of his memories. He frowned, and violent star energy swept out in all directions. "Shut up."
The ground trembled, and a storm of star energy swept the surrounding cultivators away. Layers of ripples rippled through the void, shocking everyone.
At this moment, even the middle-aged cultivator was astonished, and he looked at Lu Yin with astonishment and amazement.
Lu Yin looked at the fruit fish and picked up his chopsticks again, slowly eating one bite at a time.
No one dared to argue, and no one dared to step forward. The pressure from before had shocked them.
Many people in the crowd looked at each other hesitantly. They felt that Lu Yin looked familiar, but they couldn't recall where they had seen him before.
It didn't take long for Lu Yin to finish the entire plate of fruit fish. He could taste that fragrance and sweetness, but he could no longer recall it or feel that warmth.
The chopsticks dissipated, and Lu Yin looked at the middle-aged cultivator. "Thank you."
The middle-aged cultivator curled his lips and cursed his bad luck before turning to leave.
The surrounding cultivators dispersed, and only Lu Yin remained in place, deep in thought. That memory should have been his. Did he have a Second Bro?
Someone walked over from behind him and politely said, "Brother, I'm Wen Beard. Let's get to know each other."
Lu Yin looked over. "Sixty-fifth on the Top 100 Rankings, Wen Beard from the Wen family?"
Wen Beard smiled. "My nickname is Bo You, and I've embarrassed myself in front of you. May I know your name?"
Lu Yin thought for a moment, and then his face changed back to his original appearance. "Lu Yin."
He had caused quite a commotion here, and he had definitely been targeted by the Daynight clan. Even the Amethyst Trading Company had been able to see through his disguise, and the Daynight clan had been able to deduce countless disguises based on his true appearance. Lu Yin's identity had been exposed long ago, so there was no need for him to hide anything.
Wen Beard blinked and laughed dryly. "So it's Brother Lu. I've heard a lot about you."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Brother Wen, I've heard a lot about you as well."
Wen Beard was a little embarrassed. Lu Yin had unified the Outerverse and was now a potential enemy of the entire Innerverse. The Outerverse represented the interests of the entire Innerverse, and the Wen family was no exception. Any Innerverse power's successor would feel awkward when they met Lu Yin, and they wouldn't know how to face him.
