The Second Nightking laughed at Shaohuang Qing's words. "Are you saying that you won't act against Lu Yin without me?"
Shaohuang Qing's expression changed, and she looked at the Second Nightking. "Senior, what do you mean?"
"The current situation in the Innerverse is obvious. The Sword Sect has been looking for you for a long time, and you wouldn't have invited Lu Yin here for no reason. Since you've invited him, you must have your reasons. Although I don't know what you're planning, I'm sure it's related to poison. Since that's the case, why don't you act openly since your Divine Gu Dynasty has no plans to interact with the outside world?"
Shaohuang Qing was put in a difficult position, and her mind raced. She knew how much the Second Nightking hated Lu Yin. Lu Yin had defeated the Daynight clan, destroyed their ancestral land, and freed the enslaved Dayking bloodline. Every single one of these was enough to make the Daynight clan hate him to the core. Furthermore, Lu Yin was the reason why the Second Nightking had been imprisoned in Kun Ze. These reasons were enough for the Second Nightking to kill Lu Yin a million times over.
However, he could not kill Lu Yin within the Divine Gu Dynasty, and he could not act either. Although the Divine Gu Dynasty was isolated from the outside world, it was not completely cut off from contact. Lu Yin had a group of experts backing him, and if they came looking for trouble, they would not be as easy to deal with as the Second Nightking.
If the Divine Gu Dynasty did not fear these powers, then the Second Nightking would not have planned to cooperate with the Sword Sect. It was precisely because he felt threatened by Lu Yin that he wanted to cooperate.
Shaohuang Qing looked at the Second Nightking and did not know how to refuse. She could only try to appease him. "Senior, I will do my best to help you."
The Second Nightking nodded. "That's good. I don't want Lu Yin to leave Gu Flowzone alive."
"If you act, then your identity will be exposed. Is that …?"
Shaohuang Qing probed, but the Second Nightking sneered. "The Fifth Mainland is huge. It won't be that hard to find a place to hide."
"Senior, you can live in seclusion in the Divine Gu Dynasty."
The Second Nightking looked at Shaohuang Qing coldly. "We'll see."
…
A few days later, Lu Yin boarded a spacecraft and saw the Divine Gu Continent.
From a distance, the continent looked like a monster that was emitting a strange gas that lay in space. Lu Yin looked down at the continent; it was rumored that there was a terrifying poisonous creature there, but he did not know whether that was true or not..
Lu Yin was very interested in poisons, as Elder Wu's poison had been of great help to him. There were definitely poisons in the Divine Venomous Dynasty that could help him reach a level where he could threaten powerhouses with a power level of a million, such as Wu Chang. It seemed like he would have to pay a visit to the Prince of Harem.
Given Lu Yin's status, the person who received him was none other than Prince Bei. As Young Empress Qing's younger brother, Prince Bei's status was one of the top three in the Divine Gu Dynasty. Even the eldest princess, Qing Longlong, had to address him as "Royal Uncle". He was one of the few people who had the qualifications to know about the Anicca poison.
The Cunning Prince did not want to receive Lu Yin at all, but Young Empress Qing had given the order. Either he or Young Empress Qing would have to go, and there was nothing the Cunning Prince could do.
Lu Yin smiled when he saw that it was the Wretched Prince who welcomed him.
When he saw Lu Yin's smile, the Cunning Prince felt a wave of disgust wash over him. He recalled how he had been forced to tell Lu Yin about his tragic experience of wetting his bed as a child, and he forced a smile onto his face. "Welcome to the Divine Gu Dynasty, Alliance Leader Lu. Your presence brings light to Gu King City."
Lu Yin smiled. "So it's Prince Ruinous. This isn't our first time meeting."
The Cunning Prince smiled. "Of course not. Alliance Leader Lu, please."
Lu Yin followed the Cunning Prince into the Divine Gu Continent. The sky was misty, and from above, one could see the landscape of the Divine Gu Continent.
The Divine Gu Continent did not look any different from ordinary mountains and rivers, but some of the mountains and rivers formed strange patterns, while others were actually the corpses of poisonous creatures.
Along the way, the Cunning Prince
Introduced the Divine Gu Continent to Lu Yin, which piqued Lu Yin's interest. From what he knew, this place would be his sooner or later, so there was no harm in learning more about it.
"Your Highness, do you still remember what I told you before?" Lu Yin suddenly asked. The two of them traveled through the skies of the Divine Gu Continent, and they were not too far away from Gu King City.
The Cunning Prince's eyes flashed. "I'm not interested in the outside world. Thank you for your kind intentions, Alliance Leader Lu."
Lu Yin felt that it was a pity. "No matter how beautiful the Gu Flowzone is, it's still too small. The outside world is different. There are the Innerverse, Outerverse, Cosmic Sea, Neoverse, and the three thousand major realms. There are also the vast regions beyond the Fifth Mainland that are fascinating. With Your Highness's strength, it would be a pity if you didn't explore them."
"The regions beyond the Fifth Mainland?
Is Alliance Leader Lu talking about the Sixth Mainland? "
The Cunning Prince asked. Before the Sixth Mainland's invasion, not even Young Empress Qing knew about the Sixth Mainland, let alone the Cunning Prince. However, after the Sixth Mainland's invasion, almost every cultivator from the Fifth Mainland knew about it.
Outside of the Fifth Mainland, there was only the Sixth Mainland.
Lu Yin shook his head. "The Sixth Mainland has already been occupied by the Eternals. I'm talking about another part of the heavens."
The Cunning Prince was stunned. "Another part of the heavens?"
Lu Yi was astonished. "Didn't Brother Ling tell you?
Another part of the heavens where one can become a Progenitor. "
The Cunning Prince's eyes narrowed, and he froze in place. Becoming a Progenitor was the ultimate dream of all cultivators. Even someone who had just started cultivating would dream of becoming a Progenitor, even if the chances were less than one in a billion. The Cunning Prince was the same. He was the cultivator closest to becoming an Emissary in the Divine Gu Dynasty, so he naturally hoped to become a Progenitor one day. However, this dream was too far away.
Lu Yin left, and the Cunning Prince hurriedly chased after him. "Alliance Leader Lu, what's the location of becoming a Progenitor?"
Lu Yin replied, "Ask Brother Ling. He definitely has his reasons for not telling you."
The Cunning Prince's eyes flickered. Was Lu Yin trying to sow discord?
When he saw Lu Yin's serious expression, he was certain that Lu Yin was trying to sow discord between him and his brother. However, the temptation of becoming a Progenitor was too great. Did his brother really know about this?
If he did, why didn't he tell him?
"Gu King City is right in front of us. Your Excellency, can you show me around?"
Lu Yin's voice traveled over, and the Cunning Prince caught up to him again. "That's right, Gu King City is right in front of us. Alliance Leader Lu, please."
Gu King City was surrounded by tall walls, and water poured down like a waterfall. Mist covered the river, and this mist was not the normal white color. Instead, it was rainbow-colored, and it was spat out by the giant toads that were squatting on the walls.
Lu Yin stared at the city's walls in shock.
Above the city walls, giant toads would spit out rainbow balls at regular intervals. These balls would collide with a pillar at the top of the city and shatter, turning into mist that descended along with the rainbow-colored mist.
Many giant toads spat out rainbow-colored mist, and it was enough to envelop the entire city.
"What are these toads?" Lu Yin was surprised.
The Cunning Prince replied proudly, "They're not toads. They're rainbow toads, and they're non-aggressive creatures that are extremely poisonous. They're bred by the Divine Gu Dynasty, and the rainbow-colored balls they spit out collide with Gu King City's Poisonheart Pillar. The resulting mist is something that even Emissaries fear."
Lu Yin stepped into Astral Source Universe and tried to enter Gu King City through it. However, he was surprised to find that Astral Source Universe, where Gu King City was located, also had a thin layer of rainbow mist.
"Emissaries can indeed enter Gu King City through Astral Source Universe, but they'll also be contaminated by the rainbow mist. They'll be immediately discovered upon entering Gu King City, and only peak powerhouses can avoid it. Those powerhouses can easily enter Gu King City even if they want to, so there's no need to sneak in.
Gu King City will treat you with respect, "the Cunning Prince explained.
Lu Yin nodded and exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen such a defense."
The Cunning Prince smiled. "It's not really a defense; it's just a warning method. Those below the level of Emissary cannot force their way in, as they'll be discovered."
"How do ordinary people enter?"
"You just need to have the token that Gu King City distributes. That token repels the rainbow mist, and anyone with it can enter at will."
"What if an enemy obtains the token?"
"Everyone has a unique token," the Cunning Prince said. He raised his hand, and an ordinary-looking token with the word "Gu" engraved on it appeared in his palm. He passed it to Lu Yin. "This is yours, Alliance Master Lu."
Lu Yin took it and saw that there were nine numbers on it.
"The first number you enter must be the same as the next number you enter in order to open the token's secret compartment and release the substance that repels the rainbow mist. Otherwise, the token will be useless. Right, you can only enter a single number," the Cunning Prince explained.
Lu Yin was speechless. Wasn't this just a password?
What an ancient method. He had thought that it would be something like a blood binding, even though he would have been unwilling to do so.
Gu King City's defenses seemed to be very high-end, but when combined with this token, it was clearly inferior.
With the Cunning Prince leading the way, Lu Yin easily entered Gu King City.
Gu King City was very lively, and the Divine Gu Dynasty's attire was unique, which made Lu Yin's eyes light up.
Regardless of how the Divine Gu Dynasty looked to the outside world, the people here were still very happy, and everyone had a sincere smile on their faces. Lu Yin now understood why the Grand Tutor did not want the Divine Gu Dynasty to interfere with the outside world.
Regardless of whether it was good or bad, it would disrupt the peaceful life here.
Not long after entering the Divine Gu Dynasty, Lu Yin ran into someone familiar.
"One million star energy cubes. Deal," Wen Qian'er's voice rang out from a shop in Gu King City. Wen Sansi was standing beside her.
The shop sold all sorts of poisons, which were very common in the Divine Gu Dynasty. Everyone here needed poisons.
"No, this is a hypertoxic snake. How can one million star energy be enough to buy it? It has to be one million and five hundred thousand," the shop owner said decisively.
Wen Qian'er shouted, "One million and two hundred thousand at most."
"One million and five hundred thousand."
"One million and three hundred thousand."
"One million and five hundred thousand."
"Boss, are you stupid? That's not how you do business. You should at least take a step back."
"The price is three million, but you cut it to one million and five hundred thousand. You still want to cut it?
That's too much. "
"Cough, cough. One million and four hundred thousand. Give me some face."
"Who are you?
Why should I give you face? "
Wen Qian'er was furious, and her eyes widened.
Lu Yin walked in and attracted everyone's attention.
Wen Qian'er turned around and was shocked, "Lu Yin?"
Lu Yin nodded at Wen Sansi and then looked at Wen Qian'er, "You like snakes?"
She looked down on him, "Of course not, but since we're already here, we should at least bring some specialties back."
Lu Yin found it funny.
