Xia Yi stared at the newcomer and sneered. "Help me?
Why should I? "
"Because I don't like the Great Eastern Alliance."
Xia Yi stared at the newcomer. "You can save me?
Don't waste your time. The Blazing Mist Flowzone has powerhouses with power levels in the millions. You can't save me. "
"I can help you recover to your peak in a short amount of time. The Great Eastern Alliance hasn't broken through your astral cyclone, so you can escape." The newcomer then raised a hand, and a green light enveloped Xia Yi.
Two hours later, the Ross Empire trembled and then cracked open. Xia Yi rushed out, his expression uncertain. He glanced around and then headed south.
The Great Eastern Alliance sounded the alarm.
Xia Yi's escape was a threat to the Great Eastern Alliance. Once news of the Great Eastern Alliance imprisoning the head of the Xia family spread, the Xia family would not let this matter go so easily for the sake of their reputation. Since Lu Yin was no longer with the Great Eastern Alliance, this matter needed to be suppressed.
Wei Rong immediately contacted the Liu Emperor and the Second Nightking, hoping that they would be able to stop Xia Yi.
Wei Rong did not know if the two of them could stop Xia Yi, who was fleeing at full speed. Xia Yi was not an ordinary Emissary; he was the head of the Xia family, so he had plenty of tricks up his sleeve.
Xia Yi's escape shook the entire Blazing Mist Flowzone, and the Liu Emperor and the Second Nightking left the Burial Garden's Gate to capture him.
At the same time, in the Ross Empire's stronghold, outside the botanical garden, a figure walked out and looked into the garden. There was a large tree that was trying its best to escape. This person stepped over the defenses and arrived next to the fleeing tree. Through the branches, he saw the small sapling sleeping at the top of the tree. His eyes widened, and he reached into the tree's crown to grab the sapling.
The sapling was completely unaware. Just as the human figure was about to grab the sapling, the tree that was originally running away twisted its branches and wrapped around the human figure. The human figure did not care at first, but the branches suddenly sent the human figure flying and he crashed heavily onto the ground.
The ground shattered as a terrifying gale swept out in all directions. The botanical garden was in an uproar.
Balaror, who was guarding the botanical garden, was swept away by the gale and fell off his bed. He rubbed his head and looked outside. The botanical garden was in shambles, and when he saw the tree frantically fleeing, he quickly contacted the army within the stronghold.
The crazy tree was very famous in the Ross Empire's stronghold. At this moment, everyone thought that the tree had gone crazy and escaped.
No one saw that in the corner of the botanical garden, the figure looked in the direction of the tree in disbelief and coughed up blood.
Within the graveyard, Lu Yin was still unaware of what was happening in the outside world. He also didn't know that the giant tree had successfully broken out of prison and was frantically fleeing with the sapling.
At this moment, he walked through the wasteland and arrived at an abandoned place. As far as the eye could see, there were dilapidated houses. This was a city that had long been abandoned.
Lu Yin entered the abandoned city and touched the walls, only to find that they had not turned to dust.
There were footprints on the ground. He was not the first person to come here.
He slowly walked through the city. For some reason, this feeling felt familiar, but he just couldn't remember where.
Slowly, he reached the center of the city.
Clang! Not far away, an abandoned spear fell to the ground.
Lu Yin glanced at it but didn't pay it any mind. He continued walking forward, but he didn't put his foot down. Instead, he slowly turned his head and looked at the spear once more.
The body of the spear was full of bumps and hollows. With a single glance, one could tell that it had existed for a very long time. But, what was strange was that there were no signs of corrosion. Those bumps and hollows were not corrosion. Rather, it was as if the spear had fallen off naturally.
This strange phenomenon reminded Lu Yin of when he had first seen the Runic Rune Civilization.
There had also been a long sword there that had been bumpy due to the passage of time, but it had not rusted or corroded. That was because the runes had fallen off after such a long period of time.
Everything in that place had been created by rune lines, and this spear was very similar.
When he thought of this, Lu Yin's eyes turned into runes, and he looked around in shock. There were rune lines, but they were limited to this small city. This was the Runic Rune Civilization Ruins.
Lu Yin's gaze was fervent. The Runic Rune Civilization was a civilization created by the Runic Progenitor. He had cultivated the True Scripture of Eon Flow, which had brought him many benefits and even saved his life. He wanted to continue cultivating the True Scripture of Eon Flow, but he had reached a bottleneck.
The only way to break through this bottleneck was to go to the Home of the Gods.
Back then, the Zi family of the Amethyst Trading Company had been ordered by the Home of the Gods to search for the Runic Rune Civilization Ruins in the Outerverse. They had found four, and all of them had been taken to the Neoverse. Only the Runic Rune Civilization Ruins could allow him to break through with the True Scripture of Eon Flow.
Going to the Home of the Gods had been part of his plan, but Lu Yin had never thought that there would be a Runic Rune Civilization Ruins here.
In the entire small city, the place with the most rune lines was in the southeast corner.
Lu Yin slowly approached it, and it didn't take long for him to see a statue of a man with an ordinary appearance. There was nothing special about it, but the moment he saw it, the runes in Lu Yin's eyes involuntarily jumped, as if they were being drawn by something.
There was a large group of people kneeling in front of the statue. They were also statues, and they seemed to be praying.
Lu Yin was not unfamiliar with this scene, as he had seen many people praying in the Runic Rune Civilization Ruins. Those people had turned into skeletons, but they had still maintained their praying posture. However, the statue that had been there back then had only been half of its body, while the statue in front of him was complete.
Lu Yin approached it step by step, afraid that if he used too much force, the statue and the praying people would turn to dust.
The closer he got to the statue, the more indistinct it became. It was as if the person depicted in the statue was covered by a veil, and what he saw was not the person's appearance, but runes.
Lu Yin's gaze swept across the kneeling and praying statues. Who had carved so many kneeling and praying statues in this place?
Where had the people who had come to this small city gone?
He looked at the bottom of his feet, and there were traces on the ground. Someone had been here before, but the footprints had disappeared.
Disappeared?
Lu Yin's heart sank. Could there be danger?
He thought of Tea Mountain and turned around without hesitation. He would observe the situation first, and it would be best if someone could explore this place.
However, it was too late. Lu Yin did not realize that the first statue was not a statue, but rather a mummy with a statue's outer shell.
The moment Lu Yin turned around, the mummy moved and appeared in front of him without a trace. Lu Yin watched in horror as the mummy reached out to grab him.
Lu Yin's pupils shrank, and he immediately took out the blood-red bell. He could only use his strongest technique against a mummy that he did not know anything about.
However, the blood-red bell did not even have a chance to ring. His shoulder was grabbed by the mummy, and the world spun around him. By the time he could see his surroundings clearly, he could no longer move.
Lu Yin's eyes darted around, and he wanted to move, but he could not. He looked in front of him and saw many kneeling and praying statues. Based on their positions, he understood that he had become one of the worshipping statues, and a statue's outer shell had formed around his body.
These worshiping statues weren't made, they were people.
It was no wonder that the footprints had disappeared at the previous location. Everyone who had come here had become a statue that would forever worship the statue of the Rune Progenitor.
As for the
The blood-red bell fell to its original position.
This place was no different from Tea Mountain. One treated people like camellias, while the other treated people like statues.
He could dodge the first, but he could not dodge the second.
Lu Yin wanted to move again, but he could not.
His pupils turned into runes, and he looked around himself. The statue's outer shell was formed from rune lines, and he could not weaken it no matter how hard he tried. The mummy was clearly a top expert from the Rune Technology Company, and his rune lines were not something that Lu Yin could weaken.
Suddenly, Lu Yin's mind trembled, and his eyes became dazed as he stared blankly at the statue that was being worshipped. In that instant, he seemed to be able to see the statue's face clearly, and he saw a strange scene where rune lines surged. He saw the next realm of the True Scripture of Eon Yan — the Knowing Realm.
During the Sovereign Tournament, someone had already reached the Knowing Realm of the True Scripture of Eon Yan, but Lu Yin still had no clue who it was.
The True Scripture of Eon Yan was not like other techniques that could be comprehended by oneself. This was a completely different civilization that had been created by the Rune Progenitor, a legendary civilization that was not recognized by history. No one had the ability to comprehend it on their own, and they could only search for an inheritance.
Lu Yin finally saw the cultivation of the Knowing Realm in these ruins. Did he have to reach the Knowing Realm before he could leave?
Then what about the others who were trapped here?
Or could it be that only those who cultivated the True Scripture of Eon Yan could leave?
Lu Yin took a deep breath and calmed himself down. Now that he knew how to cultivate, he might as well cultivate here.
Half a month quickly passed, and another statue appeared beside Lu Yin. It was also someone who had come here by chance, and the mummy had turned him into a statue that would be worshipped forever.
Lu Yin was no stranger to the cultivation of the True Scripture of Eon Yan. The difficulty of the True Scripture of Eon Yan lay in the fact that one did not understand its mysteries. Once one understood it, cultivating it would not be too difficult.
Perhaps this was the reason why the Rune Progenitor had single-handedly carried the entire Rune Technology Company and fought his way to the Sixth Mainland. How many experts had the Rune Technology Company had back then?
Lu Yin did not dare to imagine.
The Sixth Mainland had not been willing to record Progenitor Chen because of his overwhelming power and invincible strength. They had not acknowledged the Rune Progenitor's existence, and the damage that the Rune Progenitor had caused to the Sixth Mainland had probably far exceeded Progenitor Chen's.
Another half a month quickly passed, and Lu Yin had been cultivating here for a month. He was gaining more and more insight into the Knowing Realm. Back then, Tian He and Tai Yishen had both reached this realm, and he could do so as well.
Two more statues were added to the group around him.
Ten days passed, and then another ten days passed.
On this day, a man arrived and slowly approached the statue.
From Lu Yin's perspective, he could see where he had been standing and the blood-red bell. He could also see a little further away.
When he saw the man, his expression changed. It was him?
Mister Guansheng was one of the Sixth Mainland's Four Sovereigns, the head of the Upper Temple of the Martial Immortal Realm, and Xiaoqing's master.
Lu Yin had not expected this person to enter the burial grounds. It seemed that there was something here that had attracted the Sixth Mainland's attention, and even the Four Sovereigns had come.
Mister Guansheng saw the statue and the person worshipping it. He stood not far from where Lu Yin had been captured and did not move.
Lu Yin's eyes flickered, but he did not know if he wanted this person to come in or not.
He was not clear on the strength of the mummy that had captured him.
If the mummy was not Mister Guansheng's match, then they might be able to be saved, but that would not be good for Lu Yin.
