After a full two hours, that was all Lu Yin could make out. After that, he couldn't make out anything else.
He looked at Wen Zizai suspiciously. "Senior, are you sure it's this?"
Wen Zizai smiled bitterly. "I know that Alliance Leader Lu might not believe me, but this is indeed the case. If you don't believe me, you can check the footage of Han Chong's battle. He used his star energy to draw a landscape painting that looks exactly like this one."
Lu Yin frowned, as he recalled Han Chong's battle. The Panorama had defeated Xia Ye as soon as it appeared, which meant that it was not simple. Han Chong might have discovered something from the painting, but he had only been a Limiteer back then. Now, Lu Yin could fight an Emissary alone, so how could he not have seen anything?
Everyone had their own opportunities, and Lu Yin could not force it. He had just stepped onto the path of cultivation, but he had been able to use his innate die to enter the Time Stop Space. That was the power of time, and even a Half-Ancestor might not be able to come into contact with it. Who could say for sure?
"Alliance Leader Lu, this is indeed the case. The Han family has been guarding this stone for many years, and President Han is currently with the Wen family. You can ask him," Wen Zizai emphasized, afraid that Lu Yin would not believe him.
Lu Yin replied, "Then I'll have to trouble Senior to invite President Han over."
Wen Zizai nodded.
Not long after, an old man arrived and faced Lu Yin, nervously looking at the stone in Lu Yin's hand.
Lu Yin recognized this old man. Although he had never met him before, he had seen images of him on the internet. He was the president of Yi Huang Academy and a public figure.
"Junior Lu Yin greets President Han," Lu Yin said politely.
President Han nodded and praised, "Alliance Leader Lu, it's been a long time. Your name is like thunder in my ears."
"I can't compare to President Han's education. In front of him, I'm just a student who hasn't graduated from the Astral Combat Academy."
President Han was astonished. "You haven't graduated from the Astral Combat Academy?"
Lu Yin smiled. "That's right. I'm always outside and haven't had the time to graduate."
President Han laughed. "With Alliance Leader Lu's abilities, you've long since surpassed the mentors. It doesn't make a difference whether you graduate or not. Right, how did you learn about this landscape painting?"
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "If the Han family can keep the Panorama of Clarity, then it's only natural for others to know about it as well. There's no such thing as an eternal secret."
"It's fine if Alliance Head Lu doesn't want to talk about it." He looked at the stone in Lu Yin's hand. "This is indeed the Panorama that Alliance Head Lu needs. Back then, Chong 'er was attracted to it by accident, and he begged me for a long time before I finally allowed him to take a look at it.
"Just a glance?" Lu Yin raised his brows.
President Han nodded. "That's right. I was immediately attracted to it. I believed that Chong-er had some sort of fate with this painting. Perhaps the Han family had guarded this painting for so many years precisely for Chong-er. That's why I allowed him to look at it and use it to paint the world.
Lu Yin looked at the stone in his hand again. Everyone else had seen the problem with a single glance, but he couldn't. This Panorama was not fated with him.
He had even memorized the Stonewall Scriptures, but he still couldn't figure anything out. Helpless, he returned the stone to President Han.
Dean Han took the stone and heaved a sigh of relief.
After seeing the Panorama of Mountains and Rivers, he also allowed Wen Sansi and Wen First Rank to be alone for the time it took for an incense stick to burn. The transaction was considered complete.
Even though Wen Zizai had desperately wanted Wen Number One to stay with the Wen family, he had still been taken away by Lu Yin.
It was a strange feeling, as if he was tearing apart two lovers.
When he left the Wen family, Lu Yin saw Wen Qian'er. Although they had only met a few times and hadn't spoken much, they could still be considered acquaintances. But now, it felt like a lifetime had passed.
His two years in the Cosmic Tree had greatly changed Lu Yin's mentality.
Wen Qian'er looked at Lu Yin, but there was no longer any challenge in her eyes. That was a level that she could never hope to reach.
"I never thought that you, Wen Zizai, would have a day like this. Someone else has taken away what you desire the most from the Wen family, but you can't do anything about it," President Han lamented as he watched Lu Yin's flying ship depart.
Wen Zizai's tone was gloomy. "He's not the first. Although my Wen family controls the Erudite Flowzone, that's only because the Fifth Mainland is too big. The Hall of Honor and the Neoverse can't handle everything. Otherwise, the Daynight clan and the Sword Sect wouldn't even have a say."
"What do you think he'll ask for?"
President Han asked, as he was very curious. The Wen family had already shown great sincerity, and they had even tried their best to fulfill any of Lu Yin's conditions. Even so, Lu Yin had not mentioned anything.
Wen Zizai was in a bad mood, so he ignored President Han and returned to the Wen family.
…
After leaving the Wen family, Lu Yin deliberately took a detour to Chaos Flowzone. The reason for this detour was naturally because of the Corpse King.
The Corpse King that had killed Han Chong had been eyeing Lost Radiance Academy, and it desired the Panorama of Clarity. Lu Yin wanted to eliminate this hidden danger. The Panorama of Clarity was useless to him, but that did not mean that it was useless to others, especially the Corpse King.
Lost Radiance Academy was not very far from the Wen family, and with the spacecraft's speed, it only took half a day for them to see the planet.
It was a very ordinary planet that was not suitable for human habitation. There was no civilization, and there were very few living creatures.
The Corpse King had a power level of over 400,000, but it had not reached the level of an Emissary. Thus, it had not ventured deep into Lost Radiance Academy and had instead stayed on the planet to keep an eye on it while waiting for orders from the Neohuman Alliance.
Lu Yin was hesitating over whether or not he should eliminate the Corpse King. If he did, the Neohuman Alliance might find out and implicate him in the matter of the Panorama of Clarity, which would bring him trouble. However, it would also bring him the key to unraveling the mystery.
Even President Han did not know the use of the Panorama of Clarity, so the Neohuman Alliance might know.
The spacecraft stopped in outer space, and Lu Yin stared at the barren planet in the distance. Even further away, there were colorful nebulae revolving around it.
Mr. Liu Ye was puzzled. "We're not leaving?"
Lu Yin thought about it and then said, "Let's go." He then continued flying towards the Chaos Flowzone.
It would be easy to deal with the Corpse King, but once this one was dealt with, the Neohuman Alliance would definitely send more. Lu Yin wanted to keep this Corpse King, as it was one of the rare Corpse Kings that he could merge with. It might be of great use in the future.
A few days later, Lu Yin received a call from Starsibyl. "I was unable to divine the name 'Undying Yushan'. Are you sure that this name is correct?"
Lu Yin replied, "It should be correct."
"Undying Yushan, the master of the Frostwave Weave's Great Yu Empire, but he died more than ten years ago. He's a dead man."
Lu Yin replied, "I saw him. He's not dead."
"Perhaps, but I can't divine his identity unless you have his blood."
Lu Yin thought of Wendy Yushan. "I'll bring it to you."
"Alright."
Elsewhere in the Neoverse, Xia Ji had been in Sirius's Jade Disc for some time, but he could not find anything strange. Sirius's Jade Disc contained stars that could be used to cultivate the Sirius Art. However, according to the information that Xia Ji had obtained from Progenitor Chen's tomb, there should be something in the Jade Disc that could be used by Progenitor Chen's descendants to sense the various Sirius stars that Progenitor Chen had left behind.
"Why isn't there anything?
Do I have to cultivate the Sirius Art to its peak? "
Xia Ji muttered to himself. Nine stars revolved around his body, which meant that he could easily cultivate the Sirius Art. "If that's the case, then it'll take some effort."
Xia Ji took a deep breath and began to cultivate the Sirius Art.
The Sirius Sect had also obtained the Xia family's three forms of blade intent, and the first batch to cultivate them were naturally the true disciples and elders.
However, there were not many elders who cultivated the three forms of blade intent, as their cultivation had long since been fixed. Focusing on the three forms would not be of much help, as the Sirius Sect's disciples were not proficient in blade techniques.
Mu Ziying, on the other hand, was very excited. He had reached a bottleneck in his cultivation of the Sirius Art, and aside from innate talent, the three forms of blade intent were another way to increase his strength. He also liked blade techniques.
Although the appearance of the three forms of blade intent had temporarily quelled the anger of the Sirius Sect, as time passed, more and more Sirius Sect disciples were not proficient in the three forms of blade intent, and this anger would erupt again.
Without the Sirius Jade Disc, the cultivation speed of the Sirius Art would be greatly reduced, which was not a good thing for the Sirius Sect.
The current peace was only temporary.
Lu Yin returned to Chaosgod Mountain and hid his tracks until he saw Cang Yi.
Cang Yi hurriedly bowed when he saw Lu Yin. "Greetings, Alliance Leader."
Lu Yin nodded with a calm expression. "You acted quite quickly. The loss of Cang Zhou and the other elites has greatly damaged Chaosgod Mountain's strength. How do you plan on making up for it?"
Cang Yi carefully replied, "Chaosgod Mountain does not lack disciples. As long as I'm here, the dark organizations can provide a large number of people to join at any time. However, with Cang Zhou's death, we don't have any Envoys, so it's easy for the eight great flowzones to target us. I can only suppress the cultivators outside of the eight great flowzones."
The meaning behind his words was simple. The eight great flowzones would be left to Lu Yin to deal with, and Cang Yi would be able to deal with the rest. However, without Cang Yi, Lu Yin would still have to deal with the rest, which would be very troublesome.
"Are you saying that the dark organizations only recognize you?" Lu Yin asked.
Cang Yi respectfully replied, "I've dealt with them for too long, and we're very familiar with each other."
"Do you know Qian Yan?" Lu Yin suddenly asked.
Cang Yi was stunned. "Qian Yan?
I know him. He's an interstellar pirate who was originally in the Outerverse, but after the Great Eastern Alliance rose to prominence, he said that he could no longer survive, so he came to Chaos Flowzone. I've met him a few times, and he's quite popular in Chaos Flowzone. Alliance Leader?
Did he offend you? "
Lu Yin looked at Cang Yi and smiled. "Can you deal with him?"
Cang Yi's expression was solemn. "It won't be difficult to deal with him. Although he's gotten to know many people in Chaos Flowzone over the past few years, with a single word from me, none of them will help him."
"Even you've heard of him. It seems like Qian Yan is doing quite well. If you let him replace you in dealing with the dark organizations, he'll be a good choice," Lu Yin said.
Cang Yi was shocked, and his face paled. "Alliance Leader, wh- what do you mean?"
Lu Yin replied, "Qian Yan is one of my people, and his familiarity with the dark organizations in Chaos Flowzone is probably not much worse than yours. Without you, he can still help Chaosgod Mountain recruit a large number of cultivators. Isn't that great?"
He then looked at Cang Yi with a cold gaze.
Cang Yi's heart trembled. "Alliance Leader, Qian Yan is just a Hunter."
"So what?
Cang Zhou had an Envoy with a power level of more than 700,000, but he was still killed. "
