"Lord Inquisitor, even if the death energy in this child's body cannot be controlled, it can still be guided. Furthermore, this child is one of the Human Domain's top geniuses and one of the Hall of Honor's methods. If news of him cultivating death energy spreads, it will be detrimental to the Hall of Honor," Mu Tianlun continued.
"There are thousands of paths to cultivation. Back then, Progenitor Chen went against the Daosource Sect's orders and merged his clone with the giant's bloodline to walk the path of invincibility. The Daosource Sect was magnanimous, so why can't we follow suit?" the head inquisitor asked.
Mu Tianlun frowned and looked at the empty seat with a strange expression. Mu En and Death's Shadow also looked over curiously. The head inquisitor had never spoken so much, and he was clearly protecting Lu Yin, which was not right.
With the head inquisitor's personality, this protectiveness was too obvious. Even if Lu Yin had Master Yuan and Eversky Island's backing, the head inquisitor would not be so protective of Lu Yin, as he was one of the Hall of Honor's true rulers.
Even Wudi could tell that the head inquisitor was protecting Lu Yin, and he looked at Lu Yin strangely. Was this child related to the head inquisitor?
Lu Yin did not feel anything, as he did not understand the head inquisitor. He only thought that the head inquisitor was just and fair, so he smiled. "Thank you, Lord Inquisitor. Lord Inquisitor is fair and impartial."
Mu Tianlun was still unwilling to give up, and he looked at Lu Yin. "Child, you don't understand death energy. We are not targeting you on purpose, but with your status, cultivating death energy will cause too much of an impact. It's also very vile. What do you think?"
Lu Yin blinked. "I think it's fine."
Mu En's lips twitched, and he felt like laughing.
Wudi's lips curled up.
Mu Tianlun did not understand Lu Yin. Lu Yin was not afraid of anything, and he had even almost overturned the Daynight Flowzone. He naturally would not be intimidated by a mere inquisitor.
"How did you suppress the death energy and cultivate it?
If it's not stable, you can't continue cultivating, and you'll have to cripple your death energy, "Mu Tianlun continued.
Wudi barked, "Mu Tianlun, are you trying to force him to tell you his cultivation technique?
Interesting. Since that's the case, tell me your cultivation technique, secret technique, and everything that happened since you were young, such as when you were beaten up, when you peeked at a girl while she was bathing — everything. "
Mu Tianlun glared at Lu Yin, completely ignoring Invincible Highsage.
Lu Yin met Mu Tianlun's gaze and slowly said, "Nothing to tell."
Mu Tianlun raised his eyebrows, his gaze cold.
Mu En stood up. "Since the head judge has determined that Lu Yin is not being controlled, he may be freed." He then looked at Lu Yin. "You've suffered, child."
Lu Yin bowed, "Thank you for your concern, Judge Muen." He then bowed towards the empty seat at the top, "Thank you for your judgment."
Mu En nodded with a smile.
The Shadow of Death disappeared.
Mu Tianlun stood up with a gloomy expression. Just as he was about to leave, Highsage Wudi grabbed his shoulder. He looked at Highsage Wudi, who stared at him and exerted some force. Mu Tianlun's expression changed. "Mister Wudi, what are you trying to do?"
"It's nothing. I just want to say that my Everlasting Sky Island isn't a place that's easy to bully." His right hand exerted force, crushing Mu Tianlun's shoulder. Mu Tianlun didn't even make a sound.
Shangsheng Wudi loosened his grip and coldly harrumphed.
Mu Tianlun continued to walk forward and left.
Mu En sighed.
Lu Yin put down the scale, and Highsage Wudi asked, "Since Little Yin is free, he should be able to regain his identity as Fazi."
Mu En nodded. "Don't worry, the head judge just instructed me to make a request to the nine directors."
Highsage Wudi was puzzled, and he asked in a low voice, "What's Little Yin's relationship with the head judge?"
Mu En was puzzled as well. "I don't know. You don't know?"
"How would I know?" Highsage asked.
The two looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was confused, as he was still immersed in the incident with Mu of Despair. He had to admit that it had been too satisfying. This guy had helped the Daynight clan back then, and now, he had finally gotten his revenge.
"Right, since Lu Yin is back, the Hall of Honor can remove Bu Lao from his position as overseer of the Great Eastern Alliance."
Lu Yin was shocked. Appointing Bu Lao to oversee the Great Eastern Alliance?
He hadn't known about this.
Mu En was troubled. "I'm sorry, Mister Wudi. This matter was decided by the nine directors, and it has nothing to do with the Interstellar Arbitration. We have no right to interfere."
"Don't give me that. The nine directors are just on the surface, and it's not like I don't know about that."
Mu En smiled bitterly. "Even so, as the head judge, I can't order the nine directors around, right?"
Highsage Wudi thought about it and agreed. "I'll look for the head judge."
Mu En did not say anything and instead had someone bring Lu Yin's cosmic ring and gadget over to him.
Lu Yin silently put away the cosmic ring. He should have been happy, but the matter of Bu Lao overseeing the Great Eastern Alliance had put him in a bad mood.
He had only been captured by the Neohuman Alliance for a short period of time, and now someone from the Hall of Honor was eyeing the Great Eastern Alliance.
With the Hall of Honor's prestige, this Bu Lao might actually be able to smoothly take over the Great Eastern Alliance.
Mu En left, and Highsage Wudi brought Lu Yin away from the Arbitration Realm.
"Senior Brother, who is Bu Lao?" Lu Yin asked.
Highsage Wudi replied, "I know you have many questions. Come, I'll tell you all about it."
Lu Yin nodded and followed behind Highsage Wudi.
There were many trees planted in the Hall of Honor, and they were very tall as well. Streams of air cascaded down from them like waterfalls.
Lu Yin and Highsage Wudi reached the top of a tree, but they still could not see the peak of a nearby mountain. From this position, however, they could see a rather panoramic view of the scenery. In the distance, they could even see the setting sun, which cast a beautiful reflection on the surface of the sea.
Lu Yin had seen countless sceneries in outer space, but none of them could compare to the Hall of Honor. This place was truly like a paradise.
Highsage Wudi told Lu Yin many things, including how the Mountain and Sea Realm had exploded and formed a horizontal black hole that had been pulled towards the Sixth Mainland, as well as how the Outerverse had been gifted to the Sixth Mainland.
Mu En's knowledge was limited, or perhaps he was unwilling to speak, but Highsage Wudi did not have such concerns.
The people of Eternal Sky Island were not good at hiding things from their own people.
Lu Yin was shocked, as he had never imagined that so many things would happen after he had been captured by the Neohuman Alliance. It was no wonder why the Sixth Mainland had been able to participate in the Supreme Tournament.
The races behind the horizontal black hole and the Sixth Mainland's vengeance had all been set up by Progenitor Hui. Lu Yin could not imagine how much intelligence he had to be able to plan for so long.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind, and he did not dwell on it. It was too far away from him, and what he cared about the most right now was the Outerverse.
"Is it really confirmed that the Outerverse has been gifted to the Sixth Mainland?" Lu Yin asked again, still in disbelief.
Highsage Wudi helplessly replied, "If we don't, then the Sixth Mainland's Three Progenitors won't help us, and a calamity will befall my Fifth Mainland. At that time, let alone the Outerverse, the entire Human Domain, the Technocracy, and the Astral Beast Domain will be finished."
"What kind of creature is it that's being blocked?
How can a Progenitor be helpless against it? "Lu Yin asked.
Highsage Wudi seriously replied, "I can't tell you right now. Once you become an Emissary, you'll be qualified to know."
Lu Yin was melancholy. An Emissary? How far away was that? He was just a Hunter.
"The most important thing for you right now is to prepare for the Supreme Tournament. I know that you've improved a lot, but don't underestimate the others. Even during the Mountain and Sea Realm's struggle, some people might not have been able to display their full strength. If we can know about that situation, then so can others."
Lu Yin's eyes trembled, and he earnestly replied, "I understand, Senior Brother."
Highsage Wudi sighed. "Back then, your eldest apprentice brother failed. You can't fail."
"If I become one of the ten strongest people in the Supreme Tournament, what will I get?" Lu Yin couldn't help but ask.
Highsage Wudi didn't answer, and he merely smiled. "A great opportunity and a wider world."
Lu Yin didn't understand.
Highsage Wudi didn't explain further. "Wait here. I'll help you get Fazi's position back. If I don't hurry him, who knows how long it'll take."
"Senior Brother, I want to contact the Outerverse," Lu Yin said. With his gadget, it was impossible for him to contact the Outerverse from the Neoverse's Glory Realm.
Highsage Wudi said, "Come, I'll take you somewhere." He then led the way.
The Hall of Honor's space was the most stable out of all the places Lu Yin had ever seen. Only Envoys could tear through the void and move about, which was something he couldn't do. Highsage Wudi could do it, but he wouldn't do it out of respect for the Hall of Honor.
After so many years, the Hall of Honor had still been the ruler of the Human Domain. Although it was tyrannical and sacrificed some people's benefits, it still allowed the majority to live a normal life. Even Everlasting Island had to maintain its respect.
Lu Yin followed behind Highsage Wudi, passing through numerous towering trees that reached into the heavens until they arrived at the foot of the Hall of Honor's main mountain. "This mountain bears the weight of the Hall of Honor. In the beginning, the Hall of Honor only had one mountain, and it was named Realm Mountain."
Lu Yin stood at the foot of the mountain and looked up. He couldn't even see the top of the mountain, not even from a tree.
"There's no need to look. You can't see anything with the naked eye. Let me tell you this: even I wouldn't be able to topple this mountain," Highsage Wudi said.
Lu Yin was shocked. Highsage Wudi was a powerhouse with a power level of more than a million, which was enough to rank him at the peak of the Human Domain. He was comparable to Master Yuan, and in the Sixth Mainland, he would be a Cosmic Imprinter. How could he not topple a mountain?
"Realm Mountain contains many great worlds, and one of them is called the Starlink Great World. Have you heard of this name before?" Highsage Wudi asked Lu Yin.
Lu Yin found the name familiar, and his eyes lit up. "An internet company that connects the entire universe?"
Highsage Wudi nodded. "That's right. The Starlink Network Company connects the entire universe. Their headquarters are located at Realm Mountain, and they are under the protection and supervision of the Hall of Honor."
Lu Yin recalled that the Starlink Network originated from the Innerverse. They had originally wanted to connect the Innerverse to the Outerverse's network, but they had never been able to do so. They could only develop systems like the Ironblood System that connected fixed regions or territories.
