With that in mind, Lu Yin did not hesitate to turn around and charge towards Xiao Bai. "Run!"
Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei fled in the blink of an eye without any hesitation.
Lu Yin had already experienced how fast the two girls were, so he was not worried that the Crying Lady would catch up to them.
However, the three of them had underestimated her.
The younger generation was all accumulating Hunters' foundations in preparation for breaking through to the Enlighter realm. The fact that the Crying Lady dared to do so meant that her foundations were deep enough. The moment she was exposed meant that the battle had already ended, or at least that was what she believed.
Lu Yin looked back and was shocked. He exerted strength in his legs and rushed to Xiao Bai's side. A Star Scattered Chessboard appeared beneath his feet, and he moved around like a chess piece.
Lu Yin grabbed Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei and disappeared using the Secret Plan when the Crying Lady appeared. She looked back in surprise, but Lu Yin had already returned and was rushing towards the whirlpool.
The Crying Lady disappeared and then reappeared, rushing into the whirlpool as well.
At the bottom of the sea, there was a stone tablet right below the whirlpool. Indecipherable words were carved onto it, and they were exactly the same as the one that Lu Yin had obtained before.
Lu Yin was disappointed when he saw that it was a stone tablet, but just as he was about to use the Secret Plan to leave, he saw a cultivator appear before him. The cultivator panicked when he saw Lu Yin, and he pressed a hand against the words on the tablet. His entire body was swallowed up by the tablet. Lu Yin was shocked. What the hell?
Xiao Bai was excited and suddenly sped up. Xiao Bai grabbed the cultivator who was about to disappear, but the cultivator was shocked. "Let go of me!"
"No, I want to go to the World within a Tablet!" Xiao Bai shouted.
Xiao Hei was excited. "World within a Tablet, World within a Tablet!"
Lu Yin didn't know what the two girls were doing, nor did he know how the cultivator had been swallowed by the stone tablet. He was at a loss as Little Black and Little White pulled him along and disappeared from the stone tablet along with the cultivator.
The next moment, the Crying Lady appeared, and the tablet had turned grey as if it had been corroded by the passage of time.
The whirlpool disappeared, and the Crying Lady stood at the bottom of the sea, calmly looking at the grey tablet. Another streak of blood flowed down her mask from Lu Yin's Overlaying Stacks.
Although his eyes were calm, he could not hide his astonishment at Lu Yin's strength.
The Tear Lady had encountered the heir of the Seven Courts and the Ten Arbiters. From her point of view, even Liu Tianmu's Eleventh Sword was not as terrifying as Lu Yin's. At the very least, Liu Tianmu had not been able to injure her twice.
This person was still only a Cruiser, but once he broke through to the Hunter realm, his strength would soar. Even an Enlighter like herself might not be his opponent.
The Outerverse had actually given birth to such a genius.
Therefore, he had to be thrown out of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Otherwise, this person could become a variable in the competition between the Five Starry Sons.
…
Qian Zou was a good person. He had always thought so. He liked to fight for justice when he had nothing to do. He would also give some money to the poor when he saw them. These were common occurrences. In this cruel universe, there were not many people like him.
Of course, doing good things also had costs. He liked to use his own ability to get things that were not costly but were valuable. Many people said that this was called stealing, but it was not. This was an art that was related to the growth of one's soul.
Those who had their things taken would learn a lesson, and they would definitely grow up. In fact, this was also a good thing, was it not?
Qian Zou did not consider himself to be good-looking, but the universe had always taken good care of him. He thought back to the time when he had been discovered stealing — ptui — taking things, and he had not been able to hide. He had hidden himself in an auction house, and he had inadvertently obtained a speed battle technique called "Reverse Step." With this battle technique, he had managed to escape.
There had also been one time when he had been surrounded. There had been too many opponents, and one of them had been too strong. He had thought that he was in a desperate situation, but the people who had surrounded him had been attacked by his enemies. They had all been annihilated, and he had even been rewarded by his enemies. They had said that without him delaying them, they would have escaped.
Another time, he had been mistaken for a disciple of some sect after he had left. He had even been entertained by a heavenly city and enjoyed it for more than ten days.
There had been too many incidents, and Qian Zou could not even count them all.
It had been the same this time. His spacecraft had been sailing smoothly, but he had accidentally arrived at this place and had been pushed in. Only after entering did he realize that this was the legendary Mountain and Sea Realm, where the Five Scions of the Stars were competing.
When he found out that this was the Mountain and Sea Realm, Qian Zou had been very excited, but he had also been very nervous. Everyone who dared to compete for the Star Tower was a freak, and he would not be able to withstand a few blows. Fortunately, he had been fast enough to avoid them.
When the competition for the Star Tower had started, he had been fine in the sea, but there had been battles everywhere. This was especially true for someone called Lu Yin. If he wanted to steal something, then so be it. Why did he have to attack everyone?
A single kick had almost scared him to death. If he had not been fast enough, he would have been finished.
That guy was truly a freak. He was so strong that a single kick could cut through the void.
Fortunately, he had been able to escape unscathed because of his fast speed.
However, Qian Zou felt that his good luck had come to an end. He had been fine riding the ocean currents when he had inadvertently arrived in front of an unearthed stone tablet. He had wanted to leave, but he had bumped into that bastard Lu Yin. Out of fear, Qian Zou had subconsciously tried to escape into the Inner Tablet World, but that bastard had actually allowed the two girls to grab him and drag him into the Inner Tablet World.
…
Boom!
Lu Yin crashed to the ground and immediately got up. He looked around and saw nothing but gray. There were no other colors, and he was surrounded by a very ancient street.
Beside him, Xiao Bai and Little Black had fallen to the ground and were rubbing their heads as they stood up. There was also that cultivator who was looking around in panic, as if he had been a thief.
"Where is this?" Lu Yin asked.
Shh!
A moment later, Xiao Bai, Xiao Hei, and the cultivator all raised their index fingers at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin blinked, confused.
The cultivator panicked. "Don't make a sound. This is the Inner Tablet World."
Lu Yin was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
The cultivator was stunned. "You don't know about the Inner Tablet World?"
Lu Yin shook his head.
At that moment, a blurry figure appeared in the distance.
The cultivator hurriedly rushed towards a place that looked like a restaurant on the side of the street. Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, and Lu Yin hurriedly followed behind.
Although they moved quickly, they didn't cause much of a commotion.
What surprised Lu Yin was that Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei's movements were also very quiet. These two girls were not afraid of anything, but they were acting like this. It was very strange for them to ask him not to make a sound.
The cultivator waved at Lu Yin and gestured for him to sit down. Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai sat down at the same time and pursed their lips, looking like obedient children.
Lu Yin was confused, and he sat down at the table.
He wanted to ask something, but the cultivator gestured for him to keep quiet again. The cultivator then sat at the table without moving or speaking, just like a statue.
Strangely, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai were the same.
Lu Yin gulped, feeling a little apprehensive.
This place was completely gray, and there were no other colors at all.
"Seventh Bro, I'm a little panicked," the monkey said.
It wasn't just the monkey; Lu Yin was also a little panicked. He felt like he was about to see a ghost and was being watched by something.
He looked at the cultivator and saw that beads of sweat were dripping down his forehead. His eyes were filled with fear.
Lu Yin looked at Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai and realized that the two girls were also panicking, their small eyes constantly looking outside the restaurant.
Not long after, a few figures approached the restaurant.
Lu Yin looked over, and his pupils shrank. Those were not people at all, but humanoid shadows. Gray, what were those?
They couldn't really be ghosts, right?
The cultivator gulped and pushed Lu Yin away, telling him not to look.
Lu Yin retracted his gaze and imitated the cultivator, sitting quietly at the table.
The figures slowly walked over. From their appearances, one was a man, one was an old woman, and the last one was a woman. They looked like a family of three as they slowly walked past the restaurant.
Once the figures were far away, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai heaved a sigh of relief, "That scared me to death."
"I saw a ghost."
Lu Yin looked at the cultivator curiously, "What's going on?"
The cultivator gasped for breath before replying fearfully, "This is the Mountain and Sea Realm's Inner Stele Realm. Didn't the elder who sent you here mention it?"
Lu Yin shook his head, as Elder Yuanke had never mentioned it.
The cultivator felt strange, "That's not right. That's common knowledge. Even if your elder didn't mention it, you should have heard of it."
Lu Yin asked, "Explain. What is this Inner Stele Realm?"
The cultivator explained, "This Inner Stele Realm is a strange world. You can even think of it as a folded space. There are no living people here, only the remnant spiritual force of the dead. It's been like this for countless years. You can't make a sound here, or else you'll be discovered and attacked by the spiritual force of the entire Inner Stele Realm. You should know that this is a world of its own, and the remnant spiritual force here includes ordinary people as well as super powerhouses."
Lu Yin was shocked, "There's such a place?"
The cultivator replied, "Keep your voice down, or we'll be finished."
Lu Yin looked at Xiao Bai and Xiao Hei, "Why didn't we enter the Inner Stele Realm?"
Xiao Hei replied, "Some steles can be entered, but others cannot."
"Why didn't you guys tell me about the Inner Stele Realm?"
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes. "Who knows? You don't know."
Lu Yin was speechless. It seemed that the Inner Stele Realm was common knowledge in the Neoverse, and Elder Yuanke had assumed that Lu Yin knew about it, which was why he hadn't mentioned it.
"Many people come to the Mountain and Sea Realm in the hopes of entering the World within the Stone Stele Realm. The remnant quintessence energy here is constantly repeating the same things. However, every so often, the same things will change. Then, during that period of time, they will repeat the same things. These things include daily life, as well as cultivation."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "So you're saying that as long as we don't make a sound, we can see what everyone is doing here? Even if that person is cultivating, we can observe the entire process?"
The cultivator nodded. "As long as you don't make a sound."
Lu Yin's eyes lit up. "How big is the Inner Stele Realm?"
The cultivator shook his head. "I don't know. Every once in a while, the remnant spiritual force here will change, and the area might change as well. Remember, you absolutely cannot make a sound."
Lu Yin understood.
The cultivator heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the street they had come from did not have any remnant spiritual force. Otherwise, there was no way to explain why this guy would make a sound.
No, I can't stay with this guy.
The cultivator stood up and nodded, preparing to leave.
