Elder Big Drum smiled wryly. "Alliance Master Lu, do you think that you're the only one who's been judged for cultivating death qi?
There have never been an exception to this, and they've all been sentenced to death. Alliance Master Lu, you're the first to be sentenced to freedom, and even Elder Chan has stepped forward to prove it. "
Lu Yin did not know about this, but it was no wonder that the old man had been so confident in using his authority to imprison him. If Elder Chan had not stepped forward and the head judge had not been involved, then Lu Yin might have been in trouble. Of course, with Eternal Sky Island and Master Yuan around, it was unlikely that he would be imprisoned, but he would definitely be monitored.
"Elder Chan really takes care of Alliance Master Lu. I'm envious. Alliance Master Lu, do you still remember what happened at the border warehouse?" Elder Big Drum looked at Lu Yin fervently.
Lu Yin smiled. "Don't worry, Elder. As long as there's a chance, I'll transfer you to the Glory Realm."
Elder Big Drum hurriedly expressed his gratitude. "Thank you, Alliance Master Lu."
When he saw Master Yuan again, Lu Yin felt different. In the past, he had not been able to understand anything, but now, he felt as if Master Yuan did not belong to this universe. There was a dreamy and ethereal feeling to him.
Master Yuanshi was equally shocked when he saw Lu Yin. Over the countless years, Master Yuanshi had taught many gifted students. Even though he had only casually taught many of them, he had probably seen the most elite geniuses out of all the cultivators. Even so, he had never seen a genius like Lu Yin.
"It's no wonder why the Hall of Honor chose you as the pass lord. Throughout history, there are probably only a few people who could rival you. Those people have left behind the most resplendent pages in history," Master Yuan praised.
Lu Yin respectfully replied, "Senior, there are too many outstanding people in this generation. Even with my current strength, I'm still not confident that I can win the Sovereign Tournament."
Master Yuan smiled. "Are you not confident that you can win the championship?"
Lu Yin did not try to hide anything, as there was nothing to hide in front of a respectable senior like Master Yuan. "I do want to win the championship."
Master Yuan nodded. "It's normal for young people to be competitive. I don't know what kind of geniuses your generation has, but they all have elders who can guide them. This is all I can give you." He then took out a power vessel and tossed it to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin was delighted, as this was a power vessel with walnuts. He hurriedly accepted it. "Thank you, Master Yuan."
"You're in deep trouble, and I can't help you much from my standpoint. I can only give you some external items as compensation. If you go astray in the future, I will personally judge you. You must remember this."
Lu Yin knew that Master Yuan was referring to the Neohuman Alliance. The head inquisitor and Elder Chan had both proven that Lu Yin could not be controlled by the death aura, but this was common knowledge. Even Master Yuan could not break free from it. At Lu Yin's level, the head inquisitor and Elder Chan were merely cultivators who were slightly stronger than him, so he could not blindly trust them.
"Don't worry, Master Yuan. I, Lu Yin, will definitely not go astray," Lu Yin said firmly.
Master Yuan nodded.
Lu Yin was about to take his leave, but he suddenly thought of something. Although the chances of success were slim, he could still give it a try. "Master Yuan, this junior has something that I need your help with."
Master Yuan asked. "What is it?"
Lu Yin organized his thoughts and then said, "This junior almost died at the hands of Nightking Zhenwu because of the General Appointment Platform. In reality, the General Appointment Platform was taken back by this junior. This junior would like to ask Master Yuan to step in and help this junior obtain the General Appointment Platform."
"What do you need the General Appointment Platform for?"
Master Yuan asked curiously. Although his expression was normal, there was a trace of scrutiny and confusion in the depths of his eyes, as well as an indescribable mix of emotions.
Lu Yin did not notice, and he only respectfully answered, "That was the first time this junior faced death, and I almost died. This junior wants to keep a memento to remind myself at all times."
Master Yuan looked at Lu Yin seriously, and Lu Yin lowered his head. Highsage Wudi had not been able to help him obtain the General Appointment Platform, and he had even warned Lu Yin not to bribe the General Appointment Platform. This proved that the Hall of Honor placed great importance on the General Appointment Platform, but Lu Yin had no other choice. His innate gift was the General Appointment Platform, and he desperately wanted to study it. Perhaps he would be able to find some clues about his past.
Master Yuan thought about it for a moment. "The General Appointment Platform is not as unimportant as you think. It is not only a symbol, but it also has other meanings. Otherwise, the Five Scions of the Stardust would not have been given the opportunity to directly receive their inheritance just because the General Appointment Platform was taken back."
Lu Yin's heart sank. Was it still not enough?
"However, the General Appointment Platform has been in the Hall of Honor's possession for many years, and no one has been able to discover anything about it. If you want it, you can take it as a loan from the Hall of Honor."
Lu Yin was delighted. "Thank you, Master Yuan."
"Go back first. I'll help you borrow the General Appointment Platform," Master Yuan said.
Lu Yin respectfully excused himself. As expected, if he wanted to obtain something from the Hall of Honor, he would have to find someone from the Hall of Honor. Although it was a loan, Master Yuan had not mentioned when he would return it, so Lu Yin did not ask.
After Lu Yin left, Master Yuan opened his gadget. He rarely used it, but it was very convenient at times.
"That kid wants to obtain the General Appointment Platform?
What's the reason? "an old voice sounded from the gadget.
Master Yuan replied, "He said it's to remind himself."
"Haha, that kid never does such things. There must be a reason."
"Anyway, the General Appointment Platform has been there for many years, and none of us have been able to unravel its mysteries. Let's give it to that kid. Perhaps he'll be able to unravel something."
"Alright."
Lu Yin was in a good mood after leaving Master Yuan's place. His reason for borrowing the General Appointment Platform was far-fetched, but he had no other choice. He could not find any other reason besides this one. If he wanted to wait until he was qualified to take the platform from the Hall of Honor, who knew how long that would take?
The General Appointment Platform was related to his past, and Lu Yin could not wait to study it.
He did not return to Zenyu Star, but instead continued to the Blaze Realm. The Sovereign Tournament was about to begin, and it would be closer to the Chaos Flowzone from there.
When Lu Yin returned to the Blaze Realm, the sourcebox array that the Trialmaster had sent over had arrived.
Flow Diversion Diagram?
Lu Yin looked at the sourcebox array's name. It was a very ordinary name. He thought about it for a moment before seriously studying the sourcebox array.
A day later, Lu Yin raised his head and let out a long sigh. He muttered to himself, "No wonder the Trialmaster said that this would help me guard a trial."
The so-called flow diversion diagram used the sourcebox array's danger zones as a passageway, or rather, as a connection point to transmit the array's power to form a world of star energy.
Lu Yin's control of star energy had reached the level of a World Realm cultivator, which gave him a huge advantage against those at the same level as him. He could suppress and dissolve an opponent's star energy, but that was based on his control of star energy. The flow diversion diagram could transform that control into space.
In a world of star energy, the more danger zones there were within the sourcebox, the larger the world would become. Lu Yin would be able to sense every single movement within the world, and he would be able to disregard space and transmit his own power through the sourcebox array's danger zones. A single person could fight against ten million people.
It seemed similar to a domain, but a domain was a unique type of power. The flow diversion diagram, on the other hand, could even transmit battle force through the sourcebox's danger zones.
In other words, the number of sourcebox arrays that were set up was the same as the number of array's danger zones that were set up.
Lu Yin was excited. He had understood the flow diversion diagram, but it would not be easy to set it up. The Trialmaster had already analyzed the flow diversion diagram very clearly, but it would take at least several months for him to fully comprehend it. Those with weaker comprehension abilities might even take several years.
Lu Yin put down the flow diversion diagram and decided to roll his die. He then entered the Time Stop Space to comprehend it.
Just as he was about to raise his hand, his surroundings quickly turned gray. He was in a secret room, but when the gray color covered everything, he could still see the outside. He could see into the distance, and everything he saw was gray.
The heavens, the scorching sun, the flames, the earth — everything was gray. In outer space, the spacecraft was still, and on land, the ocean currents were still. It was as if time had been frozen.
Lu Yin was shocked. Through the walls of the secret room, he saw a figure standing quietly in the distance with his back to him. It was Mister Mu.
Lu Yin hurriedly walked out of the secret room and bowed behind Mister Mu. "Master."
Mister Mu replied, "It's been a long time since we last met. You've improved a lot."
Lu Yin replied, "This disciple dares not slack off."
Mister Mu turned around and looked at Lu Yin, his gaze lingering on Lu Yin's heart. His eyes narrowed. "You've actually cultivated such a power."
Lu Yin looked at his heart and respectfully replied, "This disciple had no choice. I was captured by the Neohuman Alliance and could only cultivate death energy. Don't worry, Master, this disciple will not be controlled by death energy."
Mister Mu looked at Lu Yin. "There are thousands of paths to cultivation, but there is only one end point. You've simply changed your cultivation method."
Lu Yin relaxed. He wasn't worried about the others, but he was afraid that Mister Mu would blame him.
Even though he had met Master Yuan, the Head Inquisitor, the Witch Spirit God, the High Sage Heavenly Master, and Elder Chan, Lu Yin still felt that Mister Mu was the most mysterious of them all. Back when he had moved the entire Endless Weave, Master Yuan and the others had not been able to discover him. Even now, Lu Yin could not fathom what level of power Mister Mu had reached.
If not for the fact that there were no Progenitors in the Fifth Mainland, Lu Yin would have thought that Mister Mu was a Progenitor.
Elder Chan's attitude also made Lu Yin speculate.
"Since you've cultivated such a power, my request for you in this Sovereign Tournament is to become the champion. If you fail, you will be expelled from the sect," Mister Mu said.
Lu Yin was shocked. "Expelled from the sect?
Master, this disciple's use of death energy is still insufficient. "" If that's the case, then hurry up and use it. You have time to operate the bets, but you don't have time to cultivate? "Mister Mu asked.
Lu Yin had no choice but to lower his head. He was confident that he could become the champion, but the others were not to be trifled with either. The Prime Clear's Three Yang Ancestral Qi, the Astral Beast Domain's Star Devourer, the Celestial Beast Empire's Crown Prince Yao Xuan, and the Sixth Mainland's Daosource Three Skies. None of them were easy to deal with, and they were all Enlighters.
Lu Yin could not use the Time Stop space to break through to the Enlighter realm. If he did, the others would definitely suspect something.
"You have to look at the long-term. What you see might not be all of your enemies, and your opponents might not be what you can see right now," Mister Mu said something that Lu Yin did not understand. He then pressed a hand against Lu Yin's chest and rotated his other hand to the right. Before Lu Yin could react, he felt a burning sensation in his chest, and his heart felt like it was on fire.
He did not resist and allowed Mister Mu to do as he pleased.
Only a few seconds passed, but Lu Yin felt like several years had passed. Hot beads of sweat dripped from his forehead onto the ground, and he could even hear the sound.
Mister Mu withdrew his hand.
