Lu Yin understood. No matter how detached Eternal Sky Island was, they still needed to make a living and resources. Their disciples would need some help when they ventured out, and they would also need some restraints. Obviously, this city was one of Eternal Sky Island's restraints. They wanted to use Eternal Sky Island to send their disciples to compete for the Star Tower.
He didn't want to offend anyone as soon as he arrived in the Neoverse, but it was obvious that Highsage Shen Wei wouldn't give him any leeway to bargain. Moreover, that Old Qian City Lord had spoken so seriously and confidently.
On the platform, the three men and two women all looked at Lu Yin with provocative gazes. They could tell that Lu Yin was just a Cruiser, and he wasn't even a peak Cruiser. How could he possibly defeat them in a single exchange?
A girl walked out and looked at Lu Yin. "Brother, I'm here to learn from you."
Not far away, Highsage Shen Wei lazily said, "Attack together."
Old Qian was shocked, and he looked at Lu Yin seriously. Mister Shen Wei was actually so confident in this person.
Everyone else stared at Lu Yin as well.
Lu Yin was very famous, but that was only limited to the Innerverse and Outerverse. Most people in the Neoverse did not care about the Innerverse or Outerverse, and most of them had not even heard of the Ten Arbiters.
It was just like how the disciples of the Innerverse's great powers did not care about the Outerverse's weaves. To them, the Innerverse and Outerverse were barren wastelands. How could there be any elite geniuses in such a place?
If not for the Sixth Mainland's invasion, many people in the Neoverse would not have even heard of the Ten Arbiters.
Even now, many people were still unaware of the existence of the Outerverse. They only knew of the Innerverse and the Cosmic Sea.
Lu Yin was basically a blank slate in the Neoverse, and very few people knew about him.
The three men and two women looked at each other before finally looking at City Lord Qian.
City Lord Qian nodded. "Do your best."
The five stepped forward and faced Lu Yin directly. "Brother, you can make your move now," one of the men said seriously.
Lu Yin looked at Shangsheng Shenwei. "Defeated them all in one round?"
High Sage Shen Wei nodded.
The five of them were furious. He was looking down on them too much.
Lu Yin's figure flashed as he soared into the sky. Nobody saw him move, but a violent energy tore through the void and landed right in the middle of the five. At that moment, Old Qian's expression changed. This was a power level that exceeded 250,000.
The huge force turned into a strong gust of wind that sent the five of them flying. At the same time, it pierced through the soil platform and blasted towards the city.
Old Qian City Lord immediately acted, waving his hand to disperse the force. He raised his head in shock. What a terrifying palm.
Lu Yin had held back, or else this palm would have been enough to kill all five of them.
The five of them were sent flying before crashing to the ground. They were all heavily injured, but they did not faint. They all looked up at Lu Yin in horror. What a powerful palm!
Lu Yin landed on the ground. He had taken note of the rune lines of these five people before making his move. The strongest Emptiness Palm could reach a power level of 300,000, which was enough to kill five people in a single strike.
Even Nightking Zhenwu had been heavily injured by one or two of Lu Yin's empty palms, so there was no need to mention them.
The city fell silent, and everyone on the soil platform stared at Lu Yin in disbelief. He was just too powerful.
City Lord Qian ordered his men to carry the group of five away for treatment. He then looked at Shangsheng Shenwei in shock. "Mister Shenwei, who is this little brother?"
Shangsheng Shen Wei smiled. "He's an honorary disciple of Everlasting Sky Island. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll represent Everlasting Sky Island to compete for the Star Tower."
Old City Master Qian sighed. "This little brother is so young, yet he already has such strength. He's probably comparable to the best geniuses in the Western Kingdom. There's hope for him to fight for the Star Tower."
Shangsheng Shen Wei said, "Alright, let's go."
"Farewell, Mister Shenwei."
"Farewell, Mister Shenwei."
…
When he returned to his spacecraft, Lu Yin smiled bitterly. "Senior, is there a need to do this?"
Shangsheng Shen Wei solemnly replied, "What do you think the Star Tower competition is?
These people want to fight for the Star Tower and try their luck, but there are dangers everywhere. Without a certain level of strength, they're just courting death. "
Lu Yin looked back at Astral City. Were those people weak?
No, they weren't weak, or else they wouldn't have been able to maintain their consciousness after being struck by the Emptiness Palm.
Even the top ten of the Innerverse's Top 100 Rankings might not have been able to maintain their consciousness after being struck by that palm. These people were definitely not weak, but they still weren't qualified to compete for the Star Tower.
"Don't think too much. Rest well. There are still a few more places to go," Shangsheng Shen Wei said lazily.
Lu Yin nodded. He believed that Shangsheng Shen Wei was a man of his word. If he couldn't defeat his opponents in one round, then he might really lose his chance at Everlasting Sky Island.
This was a rare opportunity to compete for the Star Tower, and he wouldn't give it up.
As for the opponents that Shangsheng Shen Wei had arranged, they could only pray for their own good fortune.
There were less than three months until the Star Tower opened, and Lu Yin was anxious to get to Everlasting Sky Island. However, Shangsheng Shen Wei was in no hurry at all.
First, he took Lu Yin to beat down the elites recommended by several astral cities, and then they went to a brothel.
Yes, a brothel.
When Lu Yin saw a brightly lit courtyard floating in space, he was stunned. Was this the so-called flying brothel?
Originally, he thought that the so-called brothel might be a starry city, but he didn't expect that it was really a pavilion. It had an antique style and was brightly lit. Even though he was far away, he could still feel the laughter and indulgence of life there.
Highsage Shen Wei laughed. "Kid, have fun! My treat!" He then tore through the void and left. However, he suddenly paused and stared at Lu Yin with a sinister gaze. "Don't tell anyone, or I'll make sure you suffer the consequences. Do you hear me?
Not anyone. "
Lu Yin blinked, "Alright, I won't tell anyone."
Shangsheng Shen Wei was satisfied, "You know what's good for you. Go and have fun." He then left.
Lu Yin was speechless as he sat in the spacecraft. The monkey's voice rang out in his mind, "Seventh Bro, this senior is different from others. He's very similar to that pirate king of yours."
Lu Yin felt that the monkey's words were very similar. Didn't pirates like places like this?
Right, Shangsheng Shen Wei was Lu Yin's senior. Could it be that Highsage Leon had learned all his bad habits from him?
The more Lu Yin thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
At that moment, the spacecraft approached the brothel, and someone specially parked it for Lu Yin. A hundred people lined up outside the space station and waited respectfully.
When Lu Yin walked out, everyone bowed respectfully.
Lu Yin looked at the spacecraft and guessed that it was because of this. This was a Cosmic Grade Aurora, and there weren't many of them in the entire universe. Anyone who could ride such a spacecraft would be a big customer of the brothel.
"Little brother, you don't look familiar. This must be your first time here. How should I address you?"
Not too far away, a quiet girl with a gentle temperament walked over with a smile. Her body exuded an intoxicating fragrance, and her eyes were pure. She was completely different from the brothel.
Lu Yin replied, "Call me Seventh Bro."
The girl's eyes flashed, and she bowed, "I'm Hua Niang of the West Kingdom's brothel. Greetings, Seventh Bro."
With Hua Niang leading the way, Lu Yin entered the brothel that he had heard about for a long time.
Although the brothel was a pavilion, it wasn't small and was about the size of a mountain. To a space-exploring cultivator, this place could be destroyed with a single slap.
However, Hua Niang smiled when Lu Yin asked, "Seventh Bro, have you tried to circulate star energy in this place?"
Lu Yin's expression changed, and he tried, only to find that he couldn't circulate the star energy in his body.
"Seventh Bro, I can't see outside!" the monkey shouted.
Lu Yin looked at Hua Niang in shock, "What's this?"
"A sourcebox array." Hua Niang smiled.
Lu Yin was shocked. A brothel actually had a sourcebox array? This was ridiculous, but it was the truth. If it wasn't for a sourcebox array, how could it seal the star energy in his body?
"Anyone who enters a brothel will be responsible for their personal safety, and no violence is allowed. Of course, some cultivators have powerful physical bodies, but the materials used in our brothel are extremely rare and difficult to destroy. That's why there are only six brothels in the Neoverse," Hua Niang explained with a smile as she led the way.
Along the way, people would occasionally look at Lu Yin curiously, as it was not easy to be led by Hua Niang.
Lu Yin tested the wall out of curiosity and casually pinched it, but it was difficult to destroy. He couldn't help but exert more force, and a crack appeared on the wall.
Hua Niang was shocked, and she quickly tried to stop him, "Mr. Seventh Bro, please have mercy."
Lu Yin stopped. "Sorry."
Hua Niang smiled. "It's fine. The wall will automatically repair itself, but Mr. Seventh Bro's physical strength is astonishing."
Was he surprised?
Speaking of which, Lu Yin was surprised.
Lu Yin was even more surprised, as he had used 170 Stacks just to destroy the wall. This meant that the brothel's materials could withstand an attack with a power level of 300,000 and could even automatically repair itself.
He had cultivated for many years, but he had never seen such a material before.
On one hand, it restricted star energy, and on the other, it strengthened the building. It was no wonder why the brothel had been able to survive in the Neoverse.
The brothel was very lively, and there were people everywhere. However, it was different from what Lu Yin had imagined; this place was purely for entertainment, not sex.
Rather than a brothel, it was more like a place for cultural exchange. However, there were so many beauties that he was dazzled.
After sending Hua Niang away, Lu Yin wandered around the brothel by himself. He didn't know where Shangsheng Shenwei had gone, but he had probably gone to find his old flame!
The women here did not take the initiative to strike up a conversation. Lu Yin strolled around, and all he saw were beauties. At most, they would smile when they met his eyes, and there was none of the prostitutes that he had imagined.
There were courtyards, pavilions, fake mountains, waterfalls, and the brothel's environment was beautiful.
Lu Yin sat down in a pavilion beneath the waterfall and prepared to wait for Shangsheng Shenwei.
At that moment, the sound of a zither could be heard. The music was peaceful and intoxicating.
Lu Yin was shocked; this music had rune lines, which reminded him of the Luoshen's dance.
The zither music only lasted for a moment before disappearing.
After a while, Lu Yin heard light footsteps. He turned around and was stunned by what he saw.
An absolute beauty had appeared behind him. She wore light makeup and had a shy expression. She wore a pink gauze dress that looked like a blooming rose, and she held a zither in her hands. When Lu Yin looked back, she bowed gracefully. "I am Ya 'er, a flower from the Western Realm's brothel. Greetings, Lu Jue."
Lu Yin was surprised. "You know me?"
Ya 'er smiled, and her eyes lit up. "Lu Jue, your name is renowned throughout the Innerverse and Outerverse. Of course I know you."
