There was both day and night in this space.
The ocean at night was filled with danger, and the ship wasn't very large. From time to time, huge sea creatures would sweep past, threatening to overturn the ship at any moment. Only Mister Shou stood at the bow of the ship, chasing away the powerful sea creatures.
Within the cabin, Lu Yin suddenly opened his eyes and stood up. His complicated thoughts pulled him back to the attack of the Neohuman Alliance, Baruda, Jiang Chen, the Witchling God, the High Sage Heavenly Master, and Jupiter. Right, he had been sucked away by Jupiter. Eh? Where am I?
A hand reached out in front of him.
Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, and he grabbed the hand before twisting it forcefully. There was a crack, followed by a scream. "Let go! Mister Shou, let go! Help! Mister Shou, Mister Shou!"
"Shut up!" Lu Yin barked as he pressed the person to the ground once more.
The door opened, and Lu Yin looked up. A group of people had rushed in, and he stared at the valiant middle-aged man at the very back. This person wasn't weak, and Lu Yin's eyes turned into runes. Hmm?
He couldn't see any rune lines?
No one could see any rune lines. Could this be the interior of Jupiter?
Even if it was, there should be rune lines.
The Rune Progenitor's power covered the entire Fifth Mainland. Unless this wasn't the Fifth Mainland, then where was this place?
"All of you, leave," Mister Shou said, and everyone else retreated.
The man who had been pressed to the ground by Lu Yin grimaced in pain.
Mister Shou looked at Lu Yin and smiled. "Little brother, you fell into the Zhongping Ocean. We were the ones who saved you."
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, and he released his grip. He looked down at his body and frowned. He didn't have much star energy left, and his meridians had been blocked. He wasn't injured, but he didn't know why. His body also had many external injuries, and some of them looked sinister and terrifying, almost as if they had been cut open.
His injuries seemed serious, and he was in a lot of pain, but these were just minor injuries to him. Fortunately, he still had his cosmic ring, and as long as he took out the healing pills inside, he would be able to recover in a few days. His blocked meridians weren't a big problem either.
With his cosmic ring, he could take out his universal armor at any time, and he wouldn't have any problems protecting himself.
When he thought to this point, he relaxed considerably. "Sorry," he said before releasing his grip.
The man hurriedly stood up and fearfully glanced at Lu Yin before retreating.
Mister Shou was accompanied by an elder.
Lu Yin looked at them. "Thank you for saving me."
Mr. Shou smiled. "You're welcome. It was fate that brought us together. My name is Shou Sheng, and I'm an explorer who belongs to the Roots."
Lu Yin replied, "I'm …" He was just about to say his real name, but then decided against it. "I'm Ah Qi, a wandering cultivator."
Shou Sheng's eyes flashed and he smiled. "Brother Seven is a rogue cultivator?
That doesn't seem to be the case. Although I can't see your cultivation level, your physical strength isn't bad. It doesn't seem like something a rogue cultivator can cultivate. "
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. "I accidentally ate some natural treasures."
Shou Sheng smiled. "I know the hardships of being a rogue cultivator. Brother Seven, you should rest well. I won't disturb you any longer."
Lu Yin really wanted to know where this place was, but he wasn't a hothead and couldn't ask. This person had a valiant appearance and seemed simple and honest, but he gave off a treacherous vibe. Lu Yin grew wary, "Thank you, Mr. Shou."
Shou Sheng nodded and left with the old man.
From the beginning to the end, the old man had not said a single word.
When they left the cabin, the old man grew anxious. "Mr. Shou, why didn't you tell him?
It won't take long for us to reach our destination. If he doesn't agree, won't we be dead for sure? "
Shou Sheng shook his head. "I didn't plan on telling him now. That kid was evasive when he spoke, and it was obvious that he was hiding something. Who knows where he came from?"
"Then why did you let him impersonate my young master?" The old man grew anxious.
Shou Sheng stared at him sharply. "What else can I do?
Will you be able to survive in this dangerous Middle Plane Realm?
Not only will I not be paid, but I might even be hunted down by the White Dragon Tribe. Neither of us can afford to take responsibility for that. "
"Then what if we're exposed?" The old man was terrified.
Shou Sheng sneered. "That's his problem. We'll be long gone by then. Bring him to his destination, and you'll receive a large sum of money. I'll give you a special price when the time comes. Hire me to send you to a safe place so that you can enjoy the rest of your life."
The old man gulped. He was still uneasy, but he couldn't say anything.
"Don't worry. That tube of blood has already been injected into his body, and the White Dragon Tribe's blood should be able to suppress his blood. When the time comes, the White Dragon Tribe's experts will appear, and that kid will have to cooperate even if he doesn't want to. Otherwise, he'll die, and no one wants to die. What do you think?" Shou Sheng's vicious gaze swept over the old man.
The old man trembled. "Yes, yes."
Lu Yin had wandered the universe for more than ten years, and he was no longer a fledgling. Shou Sheng gave him a bad feeling, and he wanted to leave this ship as soon as possible.
The next day, Lu Yin walked out of his cabin and saw an endless ocean. He saw a distant wall that seemed to block out another world, a rainbow that connected the heavens and the earth, and the blurry land above him. He was stunned. What was this place?
As a cultivator who had wandered the universe for more than ten years, Lu Yin had seen many strange places. Even so, this place still shocked him.
Footsteps sounded behind him as Shou Sheng walked out. Lu Yin didn't show any signs of being unfamiliar with this place. He took a deep breath and stretched his arm.
"Brother, your body recovers very quickly," Shou Sheng laughed heartily as he walked over to Lu Yin's side.
Lu Yin smiled. "How thick-skinned. Mr. Shou, where are we going?"
Shou Sheng casually replied, "Not too far ahead."
Lu Yin nodded. This was the vast ocean, and he didn't want to leave rashly. It would be best if he could walk on land. With his strength, he could even travel through outer space, let alone the ocean. However, this was still an unfamiliar place, and it was best not to take too many risks.
He looked up and saw the faint outline of land above him. This piece of land actually covered the sun and the stars. Could this be the interior of Jupiter?
Shou Sheng saw that Lu Yin didn't like to talk, so he didn't say much. He calculated the time, and it was almost time.
Lu Yin returned to his cabin and waited until nightfall. He raised his hand and his die appeared. He had to recover his body first, so he thought about it and placed his cosmic ring aside before rolling the die.
The die slowly spun and quickly stopped. His luck was very good, as he immediately obtained four pips. Lu Yin grabbed his cosmic ring, and the scene before him changed as he arrived at the Timestop Space.
He relaxed upon arriving and opened his cosmic ring to retrieve the ancient pills that had been upgraded. There were a total of twelve of these pills, and all of them had been upgraded to the point where their rune lines were close to that of an Enlighter's. Three of them had even been upgraded to the point where their rune lines neared 300,000.
Lu Yin's power level was very high, and he could defeat an Enlighter with a power level of over 400,000. However, he was only a Hunter, so these pills were just right for him.
He still had the pills that the Sirius Sect elders had given him, and they were even useful for Envoys. However, those pills were too effective, so there was no need for them.
He immediately swallowed them, not caring if they were useful or not.
The pills were quite effective when they entered his body, and the injuries on his body healed at a visible rate. His wounds began to itch, and his internal injuries were quickly recovering as well.
However, his blocked meridians did not improve at all, and he didn't know how they had gotten blocked.
Lu Yin wasn't in a hurry, as he could recover for a long time in the Timestop Space.
He silently recited the Stonewall Scriptures and practiced his other battle techniques.
A month passed, and his blocked meridians were much better. Lu Yin immediately absorbed the star essence to restore the star energy in his body.
Two months, three months, and five months later, Lu Yin's star energy was completely restored. He let out a long sigh. As long as he recovered, he would be able to protect himself.
With the defensive capabilities of his universal armor, he should be able to protect himself even in this strange place.
The scene in front of him changed, and Lu Yin returned to his cabin.
He had been in the Timestop Space for five months, but only an instant had passed here.
He deliberately restrained his aura and suppressed his star energy, as he did not want others to see through him.
As the sky brightened, Lu Yin walked out and left the ship as soon as it docked.
When he reached the deck, he looked up and saw that it was pitch-black in the distance. It was a sign that a storm was approaching.
Shou Sheng's face was solemn, and he even looked a little unsightly.
There were other people on the deck as well, and they all looked apprehensive and fearful.
The elder saw Lu Yin walk out and hurriedly said, "Little … Little brother, you should return to your cabin. It's dangerous."
Lu Yin did not ask any more questions, as he was afraid that his questions would be too common and would be seen through. He turned around and returned to his cabin.
Soon after, an indescribable sense of danger appeared, causing Lu Yin's scalp to go numb. He was not used to the Aeon Evolution Scripture not working, and his vigilance towards the outside world had decreased.
He raised his hand, and the star energy in the air trembled. Ordinary people would not be able to see it, but Lu Yin's control of star energy had reached the level of a World Realm cultivator. He could clearly see that the star energy was actually disintegrating, and it was disintegrating faster and faster.
A kind of power descended, and the appearance of this power caused Lu Yin's back to turn cold. He immediately donned his universal armor.
In the distance, the black sky grew closer and closer. A roar shook the world, causing the seas to boil and the star energy to rapidly disintegrate. A violent hurricane swept past, causing the ship to bob up and down and almost capsize.
Shou Sheng despaired, as this was indeed the power of an Emissary. It was over. He was only an Enlighter, and he had no way of resisting an Emissary.
Four enormous eyes appeared in the pitch-black sky, and they flickered with flames. Following that, an enormous creature flapped its flaming wings and evaporated the surface of the sea as it slowly descended.
It was an incomparably enormous two-headed beast that was no smaller than the Devourer during the Sovereign Tournament. Its two heads were raised high, and its two enormous claws flickered with cold light as they floated in the air.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. This was the power of an Emissary. He instinctively tried to check its power level, but he discovered that his gadget was gone.
The air trembled, and the seas boiled. Countless dead fish floated about as terrifying flames covered the sky, dyeing it red.
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. This power was no weaker than Red Lord's at his peak. Where exactly was this place?
How could he encounter an Emissary so casually?
Wait, if this was an Emissary, then this power should have been able to tear through the void. Lu Yin seemed to think of something, and he casually waved his hand. From what he knew, this palm strike should have been able to slice through space, but in this place, it only sliced through the air and not the void.
