At the bottom of the sea, Lu Yin, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Bai looked at the stone tablet with confused expressions.
There was an ancient text on the tablet, and from the looks of it, it could be traced back to a very long time ago. Lu Yin guessed that it might be similar to the ancient text in the Daosource Sect's Scripture Pavilion, and that it belonged to the same era.
"Can you guys understand it?"
Lu Yin could not help but ask when he saw the serious expressions on Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei's faces.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei looked up at Lu Yin as if they were looking at an illiterate person.
Lu Yin blinked and asked expectantly, "Can you guys really understand it?"
"Of course not!" Xiao Bai shouted.
Xiao Hei nudged her. "Xiao Bai, even if you don't understand literature, you have to pretend to understand it. Otherwise, you'll be looked down upon."
Xiao Bai suddenly understood, and she looked at Lu Yin seriously again. "I understand."
Lu Yin was speechless. These two brats would tear each other apart sooner or later.
"Seventh Bro, these ancient words are exactly the same as the ones in the Daosource Sect's Scripture Pavilion. I can only recognize a few of them, but according to their meaning, this stone tablet should be a ceremonial text. The people of ancient times were more particular, and there were ceremonial texts for the creation of mountains and seas. These texts were usually carved by people who lived by the sea, and their purpose was to protect the peace of the region. They don't have much value," the monkey explained.
Lu Yin thought about it and then copied the words on the stone tablet. He then smashed the tablet into the bottom of the sea. This sort of thing would be a hindrance if he carried it on his back, and it would be easy for envious people to snatch it from him and cause trouble. In any case, the most valuable part of this stone tablet was the words.
Even with Lu Yin's strength, he could not destroy the stone tablet. The stone tablet's material was quite good, but it was a pity that he could not carry it around.
Based on Lu Yin's strength, this stone tablet had been smashed very deep into the sea, and it would not be easily discovered.
"Alright, let's go," Lu Yin said.
Just as the three were about to leave the seabed, Xiao Bai pointed into the distance and shouted excitedly, "Look, there's a current!"
Lu Yin looked over and saw a white current in the distance that looked like an underwater tunnel that extended into the distance.
Elder Yuan Ke had reminded him that there were many good things at the bottom of the sea, but there were also many dangers. and that the best method was to follow the current.
There could be quite a lot of currents at the bottom of the sea, which were equivalent to undersea passages. As long as one followed the currents, they would always be able to find something good. The currents were equivalent to undersea passages.
For countless years, many cultivators had come to the Mountain and Sea Realm, not to fight over the Stellar Pagodas, but to search for the undersea currents and treasures.
Since the current had appeared, there was no reason not to follow it.
Lu Yin brought Xiao Bai and Little Black into the current, and in that instant, the scenery on both sides of them flew past rapidly.
The Mountain and Sea Realm had five Mountains and five Seas. The five Mountains were located in five different directions, but the five Seas were connected.
As they stepped onto the current, Lu Yin wasn't sure which mountain they would end up at. Perhaps they would end up in the same direction, or perhaps they would end up in a different direction.
At the bottom of the sea, many currents intersected and converged.
Lu Yin brought Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai along as they wandered along the ocean's current. They encountered other currents along the way, and they also saw other cultivators.
Once, Lu Yin saw Liu Tianmu, and Liu Tianmu saw him as well. The two passed each other.
Lu Yin saw Jiu Hao next, hugging a large barrel of wine as he slept in the current. Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei even shouted at each other.
Lu Yin didn't know if it was fate, but he bumped into Ku Lei.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei also shouted when they saw Ku Lei.
Ku Lei saw Lu Yin, and when he saw that Lu Yin's gaze was unfriendly, he leaped out of the current and headed for the surface.
"Chase him! Hit him! Hit him!" Little Black and Little White shouted.
Lu Yin hurriedly stopped them. "Is the treasure more important, or is beating people more important?"
The two girls thought about it and decided not to chase after him. His words made sense.
Ku Lei had just left when Lu Yin saw Gong He. His eyes were filled with killing intent, and he immediately charged over.
Gong He looked at Lu Yin in astonishment, but then she smiled and leaped towards the surface of the sea.
Lu Yin immediately chased after her.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei were very fast, and they grabbed onto each side of Lu Yin. "Lu Yin, where are you going?"
"Beating people up," Lu Yin said in a low voice.
Xiao Hei shouted, "Is the treasure more important, or is beating people more important?"
"Nonsense, of course it's beating people up." Lu Yin was very decisive and leaped towards the surface, leaving Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei speechless. This was the first time they had been held back.
There was a thump as Gong He charged out of the sea. She looked down and saw Lu Yin emerge from the bottom of the sea with a cold gaze.
Gong He narrowed his eyes and retreated. Lu Yin charged out from where he had been standing and unleashed an Emptiness Palm without any hesitation.
No matter who it was, their first time facing an Emptiness Palm would not end well. This sort of invisible palm was not only fast, but also extraordinarily powerful.
Gong He was one of the more unfathomable of the Ten Arbiters, and he cultivated the True Scripture of Eon Evolution. A single glance from him could wipe out a civilization on a planet, and he was known as the invincible Ten Arbiters. However, that was in the past.
Once that mysterious veil was removed, he was no longer as mysterious as before.
The Emptiness Palm slapped Gong He into the bottom of the sea. Gong He had been prepared the moment Lu Yin charged out, but it was still not enough. The Emptiness Palm was too powerful, and even though he had weakened the rune lines in Lu Yin's palm beforehand, he had only managed to reduce a portion of the attack's power. The remaining power was still enough to make him cough up blood.
Lu Yin charged to the bottom of the sea and grabbed at Gong He.
There was blood at the corner of Gong He's mouth, and the smile on his face disappeared. A strangely shaped technological weapon that resembled a gun appeared in his hand, and he fired it. There was a bang, and Lu Yin casually used the Yu Secret Art to redirect the bullet, causing it to pierce through the void.
This shot was rather powerful, but it could only be used once. After that, it would be rejected by the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Gong He created another gun with his left hand and fired it again.
Lu Yin used his Emptiness Palm again and shattered the bullet, but this time, Gong He dodged it.
Lu Yin was stunned and looked at his own palm. He then stared at Gong He. This person's True Scripture of Eon Evolution had weakened his rune lines by too much. If he made a comparison, Lu Yin had not even weakened half of Gong He's rune lines.
At the same time, both Gong He and Lu Yin's eyes turned into runes that weakened each other's rune lines. Lu Yin continuously struck out with his Emptiness Palm while Gong He's star energy formed a light screen in front of him. Gong He's eyes stared at the screen as he directly weakened the rune lines in that space, which was equivalent to adding a defensive force field in front of him.
If the Emptiness Palm wanted to hit him, it would have to pass through that light screen, and the rune lines in that space would be greatly weakened.
No matter how powerful the Emptiness Palm was, it would only have less than half of its original power left by the time it reached Gong He.
Gong He could easily dodge a Emptiness Palm with only half of its power.
This was Lu Yin's first time seeing someone use the True Scripture of Eon Evolution in such a manner, and it was an eye-opener. His usage of the True Scripture of Eon Evolution had always been crude, and Gong He had just taught him a lesson.
"This is the Mountain and Sea Realm, and everyone wants to expel us. Do you want to fight amongst yourselves, Lu Yin?" Gong He's long hair fluttered as he looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin's gaze was icy. "I'm sorry, but I represent Everlasting Island."
Gong He was helpless. "Stop. I really don't want to fight with you. I can't beat you, but it's also impossible for you to kill me. You should have heard about me."
"Can't be attacked?" Lu Yin asked coldly.
Gong He smiled. "You should have experienced it yourself."
Lu Yin fell silent; this person was indeed troublesome.
His battle with Lan Si could be considered a head-on clash, as they were both Overlaying Stacks users.
Lu Yin's battle with Nightking Zhenwu had been like walking on thin ice. He had needed to guard against Nightking Zhenwu's spiritual force attacks and secret techniques, and he had also needed to find a way to break through Nightking Zhenwu's defenses. However, Lu Yin's strength had already surpassed Nightking Zhenwu's by then. If not for Nightking Zhenwu's incredible innate gift, he would not have been defeated so miserably. His battle with Nightking Zhenwu had not been a contest of strength, but rather a contest of intelligence.
After defeating Nightking Zhenwu, Lu Yin could be considered to be standing at the peak of a certain level. Ku Lei, the Hui family's descendant, Shu Jing, and the others were all suppressed by him, including Gong He, who was weaker than him in terms of absolute strength.
However, Gong He's unique trait of being unable to be attacked was indeed troublesome.
The True Scripture of Eon Evolution had been created by the Rune Progenitor, and it had been used as a foundation to create a mystical civilization that could counterattack the Sixth Mainland. This technique was not as simple as just weakening an enemy's rune lines.
Gong He had only cultivated the True Scripture of Eon Evolution from start to finish, and his control and usage of the technique had already reached perfection. If Lu Yin wanted to rely on the True Scripture of Eon Evolution to fight him in such a short period of time, then he was simply asking for trouble.
A simple screen of light had placed Gong He in an undefeatable position.
Nightking Zhenwu had cheated with his innate gift, which allowed him to withstand multiple attacks that were certain to kill him. On the other hand, Gong He's attacks were unable to threaten him at all.
The Ten Arbiters were not simple.
In comparison, even though the Seven Courts' descendants had secret techniques, they were much easier to deal with.
Lu Yin suddenly felt that if the Ten Arbiters were to face off against the descendants of ten of the Neoverse's top powers, they would have a higher chance of winning than losing.
"Rune technology is the most mystical civilization in history, but it's also the cruelest. Do you know why, Lu Yin?" Gong He asked.
Lu Yin looked at him.
Gong He's lips curled up. "Because those who cultivate the True Scripture of Eon Evolution don't need too many techniques in battle. If a person can directly weaken an opponent's rune lines, then that opponent will disappear completely."
Lu Yin stared at him.
Gong He smiled. "Isn't that cruel?"
"Try to make me disappear, or else I'll make you disappear," Lu Yin said coldly.
Gong He was helpless. "Why bother?
You and I aren't mortal enemies, and the trial back then was a matter of loyalty. I was only the spokesperson, not the initiator. "
"The initiator was the Pi Society?" Lu Yin asked.
Gong He nodded. "That's right. A few years ago, that Big Sis of yours returned to Leon's Armada, and the Armada declared war on the Pi Society. The peace that had been in the Cosmic Sea for many years was broken, and the Pi Society suffered heavy losses."
"You're also one of the accomplices. You can't escape the debt of seventy-two lives!" Lu Yin shouted.
Gong He raised his head and sighed. "If I had known that this would happen, I would have destroyed you long ago. You're so troublesome."
"It's not too late now. Let's see who'll destroy who!" Lu Yin shouted as his eyes widened. Nightfall covered the surface of the sea. Gong He spread his arms out, and a screen of light formed from star energy enveloped his entire body. This was why he could not be attacked. He had used the True Scripture of Eon Evolution to weaken all rune lines outside his body. No matter where an attack came from, its power would be weakened by half.
It would be very difficult to defeat Gong He with half the power of an attack.
